NACK. Adding random flags just makes the kernel unmaintainble. The right thing is to define a proper highlevel interface that can be implemented properly on all filesystems plus a library helper for normal pagecache-based filesystems using the aops. There's already various in-kernel filesystems that would require additional locking or that aren't pagecache-based at all, please fix them up as part of the patch(-series). - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
