This series is something that I see as the first major step towards a broad switch to the new truncate sequence. The patches get rid of the _newtrunc variant of blockdev_direct_IO & friends and *_write_begin, and clean up some bits in that area that make the switch easier. After this we have all vmtruncate instances except for inode_setattr in filesystem code. A second series to deal with ->setattr will follow and after that we can easily switch over one filesystem after another. I think this is still 2.6.34 material as it will make the fs switches a lot easier and avoid introducing the _newtrunc variants for one kernel release. -- 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
