Re: [PATCH v6 07/22] Replace the XIP page fault handler with the DAX page fault handler

Instead of calling aops->get_xip_mem from the fault handler, the
filesystem passes a get_block_t that is used to find the appropriate

I am learning the code and have some questions.  The original code,
xip_file_fault(), jumps to found: and calls vm_insert_mixed() when
get_xip_mem(,,0,,) succeeded.  If get_xip_mem() returns -ENODATA, it
calls either get_xip_mem(,,1,,) or xip_sparse_page().  In this new
function, it looks to me that get_block(,,,0) returns 0 for both cases
(success and -ENODATA previously), which are dealt in the same way.  Is
that right?  If so, is there any reason for the change?  Also, isn't it
possible to call get_block(,,,1) even if get_block(,,,0) found a block?

Thanks,
