SubjectRe: [PATCH] m68k: mm: Remove check for VM_IO to fix deferred I/O
From
Date
Hi Geert,

testing this patch on my Falcon 030, I'm seeing a weird error checking
and mounting the root filesystem (pata-falcon). The system appears to
sit idle, never completing the journal recovery and mount. Still
investigating that.

Can't see how that would be caused by your patch, just saying I could
not yet test it.

Cheers,

Michael
