do_sync_file_range() accepts a file * from which it takes an address_space
to sync. Abstract out the bulk of the function into do_sync_mapping_range()
which takes the address_space directly. This way callers who want to sync an
address_space directly can take advantage of the functionality provided
I hate to comment at this late stage, especially on something that I
think is really a great idea (I did similar more complex, sys_blkalloc

Hello,
not sure if someone has written you back about this already, but what you
are trying to do (look 'underneath' a mount point) can be done easily
without kernel modifications.
You can bind mount an existing filesystem to a new location, and examine
its contents without following existin
