[PATCH 1/3] fs/cachefiles: Remove wait_bit_key layout dependency

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

 



From: Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) <willy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Cachefiles was relying on wait_page_key and wait_bit_key being the
same layout, which is fragile.  Now that wait_page_key is exposed in
the pagemap.h header, we can remove that fragility

A comment on the need to maintain structure layout equivalence was added by
Linus[1] and that is no longer applicable.

Fixes: 62906027091f ("mm: add PageWaiters indicating tasks are waiting for a page bit")
