The patch titled Subject: mm/filemap: rename generic_file_buffered_read to filemap_read has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is mm-filemap-rename-generic_file_buffered_read-to-filemap_read.patch This patch should soon appear at https://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/mm-filemap-rename-generic_file_buffered_read-to-filemap_read.patch and later at https://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/mm-filemap-rename-generic_file_buffered_read-to-filemap_read.patch Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next and is updated there every 3-4 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@xxxxxx> Subject: mm/filemap: rename generic_file_buffered_read to filemap_read Rename generic_file_buffered_read to match the naming of filemap_fault, also update the written parameter to a more descriptive name and improve the kerneldoc comment.
