Subject: [PATCH v3 19/19] vfs: Remove mmb_fsync()
Date: Thu,  2 Jul 2026 20:21:16 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260702182057.2832980-38-jack@suse.cz> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260702175436.12226-1-jack@suse.cz>

Now that everybody has been converted from mmb_fsync() (and it's variant
mmb_fsync_noflush()) to simple_fsync(), we can delete these calls.
