Hi all,
The origin text in xip.txt said:
" The block device operation is optional, these block devices support it as of
today:
- dcssblk: s390 dcss block device driver
"
While in fs/ext2/xip.c, we can get the following code:
65void ext2_xip_verify_sb(struct super_block *sb)
66{
67 struct ext2_sb_info *sbi = EXT2_SB(sb);
68
69 if ((sbi->s_mount_opt & EXT2_MOUNT_XIP) &&
70 !sb->s_bdev->bd_disk->fops->direct_access) {
71 sbi->s_mount_opt &= (~EXT2_MOUNT_XIP);
72 ext2_msg(sb, KERN_WARNING,
73 "warning: ignoring xip option - "
74 "not supported by bdev");
75 }
76}
While the statement in the origin text may be against other
block devices, I get confused at first, so I modify the statement
to make it more clear.
