Subject: [PATCH] Btrfs: add a comment explaining what btrfs_cont_expand does
Date: Fri, 4 Mar 2011 15:47:46 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1299271666-5952-1-git-send-email-josef@redhat.com> (raw)
Everytime I have to deal with btrfs_cont_expand I stare at it for 20 minutes
trying to remember what exactly it does and why the hell we need it. So add a
comment to save future-Josef some time. Thanks,
