[PATCH] ext2: do not register write_super within VFS

[PATCH] ext2: do not register write_super within VFS

[Artem Bityutskiy]

From: Artem Bityutskiy <artem.bityutskiy@linux.intel.com>

Jan Kara removed 'sb->s_dirt' VFS flag references, so we do not need to
register the ext2 'ext2_write_super()' method in the VFS superblock operations,
because 'sb->s_dirt' won't be ever set to 1 and VFS won't ever call
'->write_super()' anyway. Thus, remove the method.

Tested using xfstests.

Jan, I do not see this patch in 'for_next' of your tree.

  Yeah, it's not. So far it was in my for_next_testing and for_testing
branches. Once the branch (for_testing) passes some compile tests (done)
and runtime tests with xfstests I will update for_next branch to include
the patch as well. Because merge window is far, I don't hurry with that
very much. But if it causes problems for you I can run the tests and update
for_next tonight or tomorrow.

I see, thanks. No, I do not have any hurry - I have it in my local tree.
