[PATCH 1/6] fuse: general infrastructure for pages[] of variable size

From: Maxim Patlasov
Date: Fri Sep 07 2012 - 13:40:55 EST


The patch removes inline array of FUSE_MAX_PAGES_PER_REQ page pointers from
fuse_req. Instead of that, req->pages may now point either to small inline
array or to an array allocated dynamically.

This essentially means that all callers of fuse_request_alloc[_nofs] should
pass the number of pages needed explicitly.

The patch doesn't make any logic changes.
