[PATCHSET 0/2] Get rid of import_single_range()

[PATCHSET 0/2] Get rid of import_single_range()

[Jens Axboe]

Hi,

While looking at this today, I noticed that the 'iov' argument to this
function is totally dead code. Patch 1 gets rid of it, and with this
function and import_ubuf() now being identical, converts the callers
to just use import_ubuf().

No functional changes here, just a cleanup removing some dead code.

[PATCH 2/2] iov_iter: replace import_single_range() with import_ubuf()

[Jens Axboe]

With the removal of the 'iov' argument to import_single_range(), the two
functions are now fully identical. Convert the import_single_range()
callers to import_ubuf(), and remove the former fully.

Looks good. I've picked this up into vfs.iov_iter but let me know if
you're already carrying this.

[PATCHSET 0/2] Get rid of import_single_range()

[Jens Axboe]

Hi,

While looking at this today, I noticed that the 'iov' argument to this
function is totally dead code. Patch 1 gets rid of it, and with this
function and import_ubuf() now being identical, converts the callers
to just use import_ubuf().

No functional changes here, just a cleanup removing some dead code.
