What is the reason for adding kio_ prefixes to the 'blocks' and 'bh' members of struct kiobuf? - These fields haven't any new semantics at all, but that change increases the delta dramatically. > Merged various fixes, in particular delayed writes should now be > really flushed by the VM, previously the fact the vm holds > the page lock was forbidding that. New logic is much cleaner too. Do you plan to submit the XFS delalloc changes back to SGI? Christoph
