Subject: [patch 2/7] mm: simplify filemap_nopage
Date: Sat, 13 Jan 2007 04:28:01 +0100 (CET)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070113011546.9479.34967.sendpatchset@linux.site> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20070113011526.9479.79596.sendpatchset@linux.site>

Identical block is duplicated twice: contrary to the comment, we have been
re-reading the page *twice* in filemap_nopage rather than once.

If any retry logic or anything is needed, it belongs in lower levels anyway.
Only retry once. Linus agrees.
