Indeed Christoph made a good go through and we appreciate this. We have addressed most of his requests. I'll just cite the latest UBIFS submit mail (http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=121180458401234&w=2): * Requests from Christoph Hellwig's review (may be found here: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=121093446502796&w=2). Few things related to the background thread were not done though. Here are explanations why: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=121155640026661&w=2 and http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=121119680522445&w=2 (see end of the mail). Also, we have not changed readdir() implementation so far, but just put a comment that we cannot support NFS at the moment. However, we have an idea how to fix this, but need some comments from the community. We'll send a separate mail describing the problem and the possible solution shortly. Nevertheless, this should not be a blocker. We are currently working on "state-less" (in Christoph's terminology) readdir() implementation. Here is what we are doing: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=121181030711128&w=2 Would be nice to get some comments on 2 possible issues which will be present in the new implementation. -- Best Regards, Artem Bityutskiy (Артём Битюцкий)
