Message-ID: <20080126204514.GA10581@lst.de>
Date: Sat, 26 Jan 2008 21:45:14 +0100
From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@....de>
To: akpm@...l.org
Cc: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org
Subject: [PATCH] kill do_generic_mapping_read
do_generic_mapping_read was used by gfs2 for internals reads, but this
use of the interface was rather suboptimal (as was the whole interface)
and has been replaced by an internal helper now. This patch kills
do_generic_mapping_read and surrounding damage in preparation of additional
cleanups for the buffered read path.
