    fs: simplify the blockdev_direct_IO prototype · aacfc19c
    Christoph Hellwig authored
    Simple filesystems always pass inode->i_sb_bdev as the block device
    argument, and never need a end_io handler.  Let's simply things for
    them and for my grepping activity by dropping these arguments.  The
    only thing not falling into that scheme is ext4, which passes and
    end_io handler without needing special flags (yet), but given how
    messy the direct I/O code there is use of __blockdev_direct_IO
    in one instead of two out of three cases isn't going to make a large
    difference anyway.
