Hey, so, I'm not a fan of these "I read code a bit and thought this could be changed here and there" patches. There's no theme, overarching direction, or comprehensive view of the structure. The suggested changes can often be really subtle, which is likely why it may not seem immediately intuitive on the first look and triggered the submitter to write up the patch. There's no practical gain from these changes while there's substantical risk of subtle breakages. Here, setting inuse to 1 would cause divide by one in the donation logic and there are comments about the in the code too. So, nack on the patch, and plase reconsider your approach to sending patches. The current approach costs more than helps. Thanks. -- tejun
