It seems like I was too polite in my previous email. What I meant is that rewriting code is useful if it provides a clear advantage to the users of a driver. For null_blk, the users are kernel developers. The code that has been posted is the start of a rewrite of the null_blk driver. The benefits of this rewrite (making low-level memory errors less likely) do not outweigh the risks that this effort will introduce functional or performance regressions. Bart.
