Just to clarify, did you mean this patch and the previous one? If i'm interpreting Christoph's concern correctly, I think he's worried about other filesystems converting to iomap using the ->iomap_begin() / ->iomap_end() functions still? That sounds like a good plan to me, for v3 I'll submit everything but this patch and the last one and then submit these patches (and any cleanup ones that become necessary) to Christian right before 7.3-rc1 gets tagged (which as I understand it, is when the merge window is about to close). Thanks, Joanne
