Umm yes I need to wait until the kernel supports the feature before adding it to userspace. AFAIR the goal was to have userspace features match the kernelspace. > > Can you talk in more specifics (which series/patches, for what codebase) > you're proposing? Yes I was referring to "[PATCH 00/32] xfsprogs: V5 write support for xfs_db" http://oss.sgi.com/archives/xfs/2013-09/msg00805.html Which needs to be reviewed before I can pull it in. I was asking for any other userspace patches that need to be pulled in for the next userspace release so it matches kernel 3.12. > > In general I think we simply have a review bottleneck, but once patchsets > are reviewed, in general, they should just get merged, especially in userspace, > IMHO. > No I was chastised for pulling in reviewed userspace patches too early.
