#Linux 6.18 Will Further Complicate Non-#GPL Out-Of-Tree #FileSystems
A patch queued up for Linux 6.18 merge window removes #write_cache_pages. In turn this will cause issues for #nonGPL out-of-tree file-systems for writing dirty data from the page cache. After the #NTFS3 and #Bcachefs in-tree users of the iterator were moved off of it, for Linux 6.18 the "write_cache_pages" will be removed that is depended upon by out-of-tree, non-GPL file-systems.

From the main #ntfs3 merge for #Linux 6.17[1]:

"Added:
- sanity check for file name
- mark live inode as bad and avoid any operations

Fixed:
- handling of symlinks created in windows
- creation of symlinks for relative path

Changed:
- cancel setting inode as bad after removing name fails
- revert 'replace inode_trylock with inode_lock'"
