Subject: [PATCH 026 of 29] md: md: replace STRIPE_OP_{BIODRAIN,PREXOR,POSTXOR} with 'reconstruct_states'
Date: Fri, 27 Jun 2008 16:52:11 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1080627065211.10742@suse.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20080627164503.9671.patches@notabene
From: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>
Track the state of reconstruct operations (recalculating the parity block
usually due to incoming writes, or as part of array expansion) Reduces the
scope of the STRIPE_OP_{BIODRAIN,PREXOR,POSTXOR} flags to only tracking whether
a reconstruct operation has been requested via the ops_request field of struct
stripe_head_state.
This is the final step in the removal of ops.{pending,ack,complete,count}, i.e.
the STRIPE_OP_{BIODRAIN,PREXOR,POSTXOR} flags only request an operation and do
not track the state of the operation.

Track the state of reconstruct operations (recalculating the parity block
usually due to incoming writes, or as part of array expansion) Reduces the
scope of the STRIPE_OP_{BIODRAIN,PREXOR,POSTXOR} flags to only tracking whether
a reconstruct operation has been requested via the ops_request field of struct
stripe_head_state.
This is the final step in the removal of ops.{pending,ack,complete,count}, i.e.
the STRIPE_OP_{BIODRAIN,PREXOR,POSTXOR} flags only request an operation and do
not track the state of the operation.
