This is what a community disjoint to mainline development has hacked cramfs in their trees into. Not a good rationale. This whole "but we've always done it" attitute is a little annoying, really. FYI: Cartsten had an xip fs for s390 aswell, and that evolved into the filemap.c bits after a lot of rework an quite a few round of review. > Nevertheless, I understand your point.

You mean like use xip_file_mmap() and implement > get_xip_page()? Did you read my latest patch? Yes. This is the highlevel way to go, just please don't hack it into cramfs. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
