Re: [RFC PATCH 4/8] mm: Separate fault info out of 'struct vm_fault'

Try to clean this up by splitting the immutable fault information out
into a new 'struct vm_fault_info' which is embedded in 'struct vm_fault'

performed with a coccinelle patch:

You may have a reason for doing it this way, but my reaction to this
was: "just make the new embedded struct unnamed".

Then you wouldn't need to do all the automated coccinelle changes.

Is there some reason you didn't do that, or just a "oh, I didn't think of it".
