If/when author decides that patch is ready for review and asks for comments, he will be perfectly able to post the thing himself. As it is, you've just posted something that might be a beginning of such patch; WTF are we supposed to do with it? Dump unsolicited comments on its author? Bypass him completely and use that chunk to implement the entire thing? Oh, wait - take discussion of Linux kernel internals to comp.os.minix. _That's_ the ticket. If the patch author has any questions, he's more than welcome here, on fsdevel or any appropriate newsgroup or IRC channel. This is not a slashdot. Posting an equivalent of "k3wl l1nk" will earn you nothing but a swift kick in the place where your head is, quite possibly followed by more elaborate treatment from patch author who has every right to be thoroughly pissed off at you.
