[PATCH 0/3] fs: Remove old mount API helpers
Posted by Pedro Falcato 2 months, 2 weeks ago
Based on linux-next as of 23 July 2025.

This patchset contains a very small cleanup, where we remove mount_nodev
(unused since 6.15) and mount_bdev (unused since f2fs converted their
mount API usage, still in -next). Obviously depends on the f2fs patches
(maybe should be merged through their tree? I don't know.).

While we're at it, we also get to removing some stale mount API docs.

I did look into removing ->mount() altogether, but sadly 9pfs is still
using it.

Pedro Falcato (3):
  fs: Remove mount_nodev
  fs: Remove mount_bdev
  docs/vfs: Remove mentions to the old mount API helpers

Nice, I'll pick that up for v6.18.
