I don't know what you mean.
If you're asking, why "10000000", isn't it obvious if you read the
commit message? adfs has "centi-second" granularity. s_time_gran
is in nanoseconds. There are 10000000 nanoseconds in a centisecond.
What do you expect?
#define ADFS_TIME_GRAN 10000000
sb->s_time_gran = ADFS_TIME_GRAN;
?
How does that help - it just stupidly and needlessly obfuscates the
code.
The whole "use definitions for constants" is idiotic when a constant
is only used in one place - when it means you have to search through
more source code to find it's single definition. Sorry, I'm not
doing that and make readability *worse*.
