Sorry if I was unclear, I wasn't trying to say that we had to change all of ext2 over to using struct iomap. If we can (and apparently we can) just switch over the DAX interfaces, that's good enough to me. I understand that this will mean that we may have overlapping DAX paths for a while (an iomap version and a buffer_head version). I just wanted to figure out whether this overlap would need to be permanent - sounds like not, which is ideal. -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx.
