Subject: [PATCH V2 04/10] Btrfs: add a comment for fs_info->max_inline
Date: Tue, 29 Jan 2013 18:05:05 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <51079ED1.1020609@cn.fujitsu.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <51079D72.7000301@cn.fujitsu.com>

Though ->max_inline is a 64bit variant, and may be accessed by
multi-task, but it is just suggestive number, so we needn't add
anything to protect fs_info->max_inline, just add a comment to
explain wny we don't use a lock to protect it.

Signed-off-by: Miao Xie <miaox@cn.fujitsu.com>
