OK, so does that mean we can finally get the block_page_mkwrite patches merged? i.e.: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=117426058311032&w=2 http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=117426070111136&w=2 I've got up-to-date versions of them ready to go and they've been consistently tested thanks to the XFSQA test I wrote for the bug that it fixes. I've been holding them out-of-tree for months now because ->fault was supposed to supercede this interface.....
