From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Christoph Hellwig Subject: Re: [xfs-masters] [PATCH] fs: Add new pre-allocation ioctls to vfs for compatibility with legacy xfs ioctls Date: Sun, 1 Feb 2009 11:41:30 -0500 Message-ID: <20090201164130.GA32276@infradead.org> References: <20090130171423.f99c88d0.akpm@linux-foundation.org> <200901310248.42820.arnd@arndb.de> <49856FE6.8020601@panasas.com> <49857BEB.30404@panasas.com> <4985966D.8040402@panasas.com> <4985C1B0.8060905@sandeen.net> <4985CCFA.4070008@panasas.com> <4985CF66.6090409@sandeen.net> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Cc: Boaz Harrosh , Geert Uytterhoeven , Arnd Bergmann , mfasheh@suse.com, joel.becker@oracle.com, linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org, hch@infradead.org, xfs-masters@oss.sgi.com, viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk, Ankit Jain , linux-fsdevel@vger.kernel.org, Andrew Morton , xfs@oss.sgi.com, ocfs2-devel@oss.oracle.com To: Eric Sandeen Return-path: Received: from bombadil.infradead.org ([18.85.46.34]:42423 "EHLO bombadil.infradead.org" rhost-flags-OK-OK-OK-OK) by vger.kernel.org with ESMTP id S1752297AbZBAQlt (ORCPT ); Sun, 1 Feb 2009 11:41:49 -0500 Content-Disposition: inline In-Reply-To: <4985CF66.6090409@sandeen.net> Sender: linux-fsdevel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: The structures have been defined exactly like that in XFS (and ocfs2) before, and there are similar cases in other ioctls handlers. If anyone feels like changing this in some way feel free to wade through the endless discussions about the pros and cons for it, but I think doing it in context of this patch is not helpful.
