Huh. I didn't notice when this one crept into the multigrain series.
I'm inclined to NAK this patch: at the very least, it does not belong
in the series, but should be discussed separately.
Yes, tmpfs does not and never has used page_mkwrite, and gains some
performance advantage from that. Nobody has ever asked for this
change before, or not that I recall.
Please drop it from the series: and if you feel strongly, or know
strong reasons why tmpfs suddenly needs to use page_mkwrite now,
please argue them separately. To pass generic/080 is not enough.
Thanks,
Hugh
