The quilt patch titled Subject: nfs: rename nfs_direct_IO and use as ->swap_rw has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was nfs-rename-nfs_direct_io-and-use-as-swap_rw.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mm-stable ------------------------------------------------------ From: NeilBrown <neilb@xxxxxxx> Subject: nfs: rename nfs_direct_IO and use as ->swap_rw The nfs_direct_IO() exists to support SWAP IO, but hasn't worked for a while. We now need a ->swap_rw function which behaves slightly differently, returning zero for success rather than a byte count. So modify nfs_direct_IO accordingly, rename it, and use it as the ->swap_rw function.
