[PATCH v2 1/5] fs/buffer: clean up block_commit_write

[Bean Huo]

From: Bean Huo <beanhuo@micron.com>

Originally inode is used to get blksize, after commit 45bce8f3e343
("fs/buffer.c: make block-size be per-page and protected by the page lock"),
__block_commit_write no longer uses this parameter inode, this patch is to
remove inode and clean up block_commit_write.

Dropping the error check before the function signature is changes is
really odd.  I'd suggest to merge this and the following patches into
a single one.

You're going to need to redo these patches, I'm afraid.  A series of
patches I wrote just went in that convert __block_commit_write (but
not block_commit_write) to take a folio instead of a page.

Do you know which git repo merged with your patches?

No problem, I will merge them together, thanks.
