Re: Possible bug when redistributing entries between dm-btree node

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

I discover that the patch I post in the last mail is wrong. The
correct one is as follow.
The total number of entries of all three nodes should not be #MAX * 3
- 1 instead of #MAX * 3 + 2 to fix this bug.
Sorry for the troubles.

Dennis
