Probably a good idea. Once it is release, I'll look at doing another kernel code sync - this one will be a lot smaller than the last - and then we can start adding all the new stuff we've got on top of it...

I have a few things that I want to do to make syncs easier in the future: - stop using the plain xfs.h include in userland, and use the same includes as in kernel space. This might require some new stub headers and magic #include_next games in userland, but should really ease our life there. - split files only partially shared between kernel and userspace and logical boundaries so that they can be shared 1:1. My poster child for that would be to split a xfs_busy_extent.c out of xfs_alloc.c. But let's get this release out before starting major surgery. _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@oss.sgi.com http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

My poster child > for that would be to split a xfs_busy_extent.c out of xfs_alloc.c. Yes, definitely. I think the changes to the dir2 headers will make things a lot easier in future, too, so further consolidation of the kernel headers along those would be a good thing to do as well. > But let's get this release out before starting major surgery. *nod* Cheers, Dave. -- Dave Chinner david@fromorbit.com _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@oss.sgi.com http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread
