Subject: [PATCH 1/2] fs/dax: Remove unused dax_layout_busy_page()
Date: Fri, 4 Sep 2026 23:27:48 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260904152749.84493-2-kaitao.cheng@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260904152749.84493-1-kaitao.cheng@linux.dev>
From: Kaitao Cheng <chengkaitao@kylinos.cn>
dax_layout_busy_page() used to let filesystems scan an entire DAX
mapping for pinned pages. All callers now use dax_break_layout(),
which also handles waiting for busy pages and deleting DAX mapping
entries once the range becomes idle.
The remaining function is only a wrapper around
dax_layout_busy_page_range() and has no in-tree users. Remove it
together with its declaration, !CONFIG_FS_DAX stub, and exported
symbol.
