[PATCH 0/4] f2fs: Remove uses of writepage

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

 



I was planning on sending this next cycle, but maybe there's time to
squeeze these patches into the upcoming merge window?

f2fs already implements writepages and migrate_folio for all three
address_space_operations, so either ->writepage will never be called (by
migration) or it will only be harmful (if called from pageout()).

The only remaining filesystem with ->writepage defined in next-20250307
is vboxsf, so the concept of removing ->writepage is well proven.  I
have some follow-up patches which simplify f2fs writeback afterwards,
but I think we can postpone them to next cycle.

See
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-fsdevel/20250307135414.2987755-1-willy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx/
for where we're going; the first four patches in that series are the
same as the four patches in this series, and I've split them out here
for your convenience.

Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) (4):
  f2fs: Remove check for ->writepage
  f2fs: Remove f2fs_write_data_page()
  f2fs: Remove f2fs_write_meta_page()
  f2fs: Remove f2fs_write_node_page()
