I think we can probably just take it when we're done with the truncate() - I'll fix for v9. > > + unmap_mapping_range(mapping, lstart, PMD_SIZE, 0); > > + truncate_inode_pages_range(mapping, lstart, lend); > > These two calls can be shortened as: > > truncate_pagecache_range(inode, lstart, lend); Nice. I'll change it for v9. _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@oss.sgi.com http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
