Subject: [PATCH RFC] new ioctl TREE_SEARCH_V2
Date: Sat, 18 Jan 2014 01:15:48 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1390004153-4228-1-git-send-email-Gerhard@Heift.Name> (raw)

This patch series adds a new ioctl TREE_SEARCH_V2 with which we could store the
results in a varying buffer. Now even items larger than 3992 bytes or a large
amount of items can be returned.

I have a few questions:
  Which value should I assign to TREE_SEARCH_V2?
  Should we limit the buffer size?
  What about documentation?

Gerhard
