Hi Linus, A series from Jan Kara, providing a more efficient way for unmapping meta data from in the buffer cache than doing it block-by-block. Provide a general helper that existing callers can use. Please pull! git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block.git for-4.10/fs-unmap ---------------------------------------------------------------- Jan Kara (6): fs: Provide function to unmap metadata for a range of blocks direct-io: Use clean_bdev_aliases() instead of handmade iteration ext4: Use clean_bdev_aliases() instead of iteration ext2: Use clean_bdev_aliases() instead of iteration fs: Add helper to clean bdev aliases under a bh and use it fs: Remove unmap_underlying_metadata fs/buffer.c | 104 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------------- fs/direct-io.c | 28 +++--------- fs/ext2/inode.c | 9 ++-- fs/ext4/extents.c | 13 +----- fs/ext4/inode.c | 18 +++----- fs/ext4/page-io.c | 2 +- fs/mpage.c | 3 +- fs/ntfs/aops.c | 2 +- fs/ntfs/file.c | 5 +-- fs/ocfs2/aops.c | 2 +- fs/ufs/balloc.c | 3 +- fs/ufs/inode.c | 3 +- include/linux/buffer_head.h | 7 ++- 13 files changed, 104 insertions(+), 95 deletions(-) -- Jens Axboe -- 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
