> Subject: iomap: Support tail packing
I can't say I like this "tail packing" language here when we have the
perfectly fine inline wording. Same for various comments in the actual
code.

Why can't we use iomap_inline_data_size_valid here? That is how can
size be different from iomap->legth?
Shouldn't the offset_in_page also go into iomap_inline_data_size_valid,
which should probably be called iomap_inline_data_valid then?

The ?: expression without the first leg is really confuing. Especially
if a good old if is much more readable here.
int ret = iomap_read_inline_data(inode, page, iomap);
if (ret)
return ret;
return PAGE_SIZE;

Pleae avoid the overly long lines.
