Subject: [PATCH 30/32] vfs: Drop mapping_metadata_bhs from address space
Date: Tue,  3 Mar 2026 11:34:19 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260303103406.4355-62-jack@suse.cz> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260303101717.27224-1-jack@suse.cz>

Nobody uses mapping_metadata_bhs in struct address_space anymore. Just
remove it.
