I'd really like to see ->truncate and vmtruncate done, so from that side I'm absolutely in favour of this series. What I'm a bit concerned about is that it just does the trivial 1:1 conversion and not actually converts the sequence of operations to the proper form, which was one of the two big reasons of moving away from ->truncate to start with. I'd love to see the full conversion, but without adequate test coverage for all the fringe filesystems that might be a bit too much to expect from Marco. I think just doing the easy conversions he did, and putting a TODO comment explaining how it should be taken further at each of the sites would be valueable on its own. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
