We need to be very cautious in making changes to it. b) A relatively large number of people are carrying quite large out-of-tree patches, some of which they're hoping to merge sometime. Admittedly more against ext3 than JBD, but there is potential here to cause those people trouble. Plus the switch to list_heads in journal_s has some impact on type safety and debuggability - I considered doing it years ago but decided not to because I found I _used_ those pointers fairly commonly in development. list_heads are a bit of a pain in gdb (kgdb and kernel core dumps), for example. _______________________________________________ Ext3-users@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ext3-users
