From 811d736f9e8013966e1a5a930c0db09508bdbb15 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Howells Date: Tue, 29 Aug 2006 19:06:09 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] BLOCK: Dissociate generic_writepages() from mpage stuff [try #6] Dissociate the generic_writepages() function from the mpage stuff, moving its declaration to linux/mm.h and actually emitting a full implementation into mm/page-writeback.c. The implementation is a partial duplicate of mpage_writepages() with all BIO references removed. It is used by NFS to do writeback.
