[PATCH 1 of 2] Implement generic block_page_mkwrite() functionality

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



On Christoph's suggestion, take the guts of the proposed
xfs_vm_page_mkwrite function and implement it as a generic
core function as it used no specific XFS code at all.

This allows any filesystem to easily hook the ->page_mkwrite()
VM callout to allow them to set up pages dirtied by mmap
writes correctly for later writeout.
