[PATCH v2 0/3] mm/memory: remove unused vmf_insert_mixed_mkwrite()

[PATCH v2 0/3] mm/memory: remove unused vmf_insert_mixed_mkwrite()

[Sang-Heon Jeon]

Hello,

Since commit 38607c62b34b ("fs/dax: properly refcount fs dax pages"),
vmf_insert_mixed_mkwrite() has no callers. This series removes it and
the mkwrite handling that only it used.

Patch 1 removes the function.

Patch 2 removes the mkwrite argument, which is then always false. It
also removes the unreachable code in insert_pfn().

Patch 3 merges __vm_insert_mixed() into vmf_insert_mixed().

No functional change.

[PATCH v2 1/3] mm/memory: remove unused vmf_insert_mixed_mkwrite()

[Sang-Heon Jeon]

Since commit 38607c62b34b ("fs/dax: properly refcount fs dax pages"),
vmf_insert_mixed_mkwrite() has no callers.

So remove the function and its declaration.

The comment above the function describes the -EBUSY handling in
__vm_insert_mixed(). Move it above that check.

No functional change.

[PATCH v2 2/3] mm/memory: remove the mkwrite argument from __vm_insert_mixed()

[Sang-Heon Jeon]

__vm_insert_mixed() is only called from vmf_insert_mixed() with
mkwrite == false, so mkwrite is also always false in vm_mixed_ok()
and insert_pfn().

So remove the argument and the unreachable code in insert_pfn().

No functional change.

[PATCH v2 3/3] mm/memory: merge __vm_insert_mixed() into vmf_insert_mixed()

[Sang-Heon Jeon]

vmf_insert_mixed() just calls __vm_insert_mixed() with the same
arguments.

So merge __vm_insert_mixed() into vmf_insert_mixed().

No functional change.
