So "n" stands for "node"? Should I use some other name for the flag. Yes. Will "flag" be a suitable name? I’d suggest `bool is_right_child’. I’ve checked the patch and it looks good. There exists a unit test case for interval tree under lustre/tests/ named it_test.c, please compile it and verify your change. I am using tree from http://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging.git/. There is no lustre/tests folder in my tree and no file named it_test.c. Kindly let me know the tree you are working from. I’m using git tree git://git.hpdd.intel.com/fs/lustre-release.git<http://git.hpdd.intel.com/?p=fs/lustre-release.git> there are also some useful information about compiling and running the code: https://wiki.hpdd.intel.com/display/PUB/Testing+a+Lustre+filesystem, usually I download a patched kernel rpm so that I can save a lot of time from building the kernel myself. Go to build.whamcloud.com<http://build.whamcloud.com> and look for lustre-master, click in and choose server side package based on your distro. If you’re interested in contributing code to lustre, here are some useful links about creating the patch, review the patch, pass regression test, etc: https://wiki.hpdd.intel.com/display/PUB/Lustre+Development Jinshan Jinshan Ick, no. You don't want a "flag" to have to determine what the logic is for a given function. That just causes confusion and makes things really hard to read and understand over time. This whole function looks like a red/black tree, or something like that. Shouldn't we just be using the in-kernel implementation of this? And if not, then you really need to get the feedback of the code's original authors as you might be changing the algorithm in ways that could cause big problems. thanks, greg k-h Cheers, Andreas -- Andreas Dilger Lustre Software Architect Intel Corporation _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
