Fine by me to make these changes - once upon a time I had a better grip than most of when and how to use PAGE_CACHE_blah; but have long lost it, and agree with all those who find the imaginary distinction now a drag. Just a plea, which I expect you already intend, to apply these changes either just before 4.6-rc1 or just before 4.7-rc1 (I think I'd opt for 4.6-rc1 myself), without any interim of days or months in linux-next, where a period of divergence would be quite tiresome. Holding back Kirill's 71/71 until the coast is clear just a little later. Thanks, Hugh -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
