You still don't get it. Calling address space operations directly from generic code is a layering violation. This got added during late 2.3/2.4 series to get loop working again at all. It's a pretty bad design in general. We fixed the read side by adding ->sendfile, and something similar is still needed on the write side. We got along with the broken write side because it kinda worked. It doesn't work for your out of tree filesystem which isn't a problem per se. If you want it fixed the only way to get there is to fix it for real instead of adding another unmaintainable cludge. So either go ahead and add a new file operation that is the counterpart to ->sendfile or go away. And please take a look at Jens Axboe's splice patch, I suspect you could easily piggyback on that. - 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
