Oh, now I see my confusion. You're talking about retval being different from the output of map->m_len. I was talking about retval being often different from the *input* value of map->m_len. I agree that the output of ext4_ext_map_blocks() and ext4_ind_map_blocks() should be the same as map->m_len, and having a BUG_ON there would make sense. But we can save those changes for after -rc3 as a cleanup.... - Ted -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
