Subject: [patch 00/18] Page cache: Replace PAGE_CACHE_xx with inline functions V3
Date: Wed, 26 Dec 2007 21:32:46 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20071227053246.902699851@sgi.com> (raw)
This patchset cleans up page cache handling by replacing
open coded shifts and adds with inline function calls.
The ultimate goal is to replace all uses of PAGE_CACHE_xxx in the
kernel through the use of these functions. All the functions take
a mapping parameter. The mapping parameter is required if we want
to support large block sizes in filesystems and block devices.
Patchset against 2.6.24-rc6-mm1.
V2->V3:
- Audit to check that uses of page->mapping are valid. Improve a couple
of places. Make it clearer how the mappings are determined and handled
(see the comments of each patch for detailed descriptions).
- Use a consistent method to determine the mapping if a function already
does determine the inode via page->mapping->host.
V1->V2:
- Review by Dave Chinner. Multiple improvements and fixes.
- Review by Fengguand Wu with more improvements.
