[PATCH 08/10] bcache: add code comments in bch_btree_leaf_dirty()

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

 



This patch adds code comments in bch_btree_leaf_dirty() to explain
why w->journal should always reference the eldest journal pin of
all the writing bkeys in the btree node. To make the bcache journal
code to be easier to be understood.
