 The fifth use case is discussed in the :ref:`realtime summary <rtsummary>` case
 study.
 
-The most general storage interface supported by the xfile enables the reading
-and writing of arbitrary quantities of data at arbitrary offsets in the xfile.
-This capability is provided by ``xfile_pread`` and ``xfile_pwrite`` functions,
-which behave similarly to their userspace counterparts.
 XFS is very record-based, which suggests that the ability to load and store
 complete records is important.
-To support these cases, a pair of ``xfile_obj_load`` and ``xfile_obj_store``
-functions are provided to read and persist objects into an xfile.
-They are internally the same as pread and pwrite, except that they treat any
-error as an out of memory error.
-For online repair, squashing error conditions in this manner is an acceptable
-behavior because the only reaction is to abort the operation back to userspace.
-All five xfile usecases can be serviced by these four functions.

 question, "But what about mmap?"

 These long term users *must* be responsive to memory reclaim by hooking into
 the shrinker infrastructure to know when to release folios.
