Subject: [PATCH] Turn do_sync_file_range() into do_sync_mapping_range()
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.22-rc1~1124^2~8
X-Git-Url: http://git.openpandora.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=5b04aa3a64f854244bc40a6f528176ed50b5c4f6;p=pandora-kernel.git

[PATCH] Turn do_sync_file_range() into do_sync_mapping_range()

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.

do_sync_file_range() is preserved as a small wrapper around
do_sync_mapping_range().

Ocfs2 in particular would like to use this to initiate a sync of a specific
inode range during truncate, where a file * may not be available.
