> Subject: iomap: Support tail packing

I can't say I like this "tail packing" language here when we have the
perfectly fine inline wording.  Same for various comments in the actual
code.

Why can't we use iomap_inline_data_size_valid here? That is how can
size be different from iomap->legth?

Shouldn't the offset_in_page also go into iomap_inline_data_size_valid,
which should probably be called iomap_inline_data_valid then?

The ?: expression without the first leg is really confuing.  Especially
if a good old if is much more readable here.

		int ret = iomap_read_inline_data(inode, page, iomap);

		if (ret)
			return ret;
		return PAGE_SIZE;

Pleae avoid the overly long lines.
