Can you just add an overlapping flag and act based on > that? That's roughly the approach I took in previous versions of this patch, but using the OVERLAPPING flag to dispatch the overlapped vs. non- versions of the get*keys and updkey* functions confused Dave, so he asked me to add to function pointers[1] to the btree ops and dispatch that way. There are still a few places where we need to know if it's an overlapped btree (like when we update a block and have to update the high keys, which only applies to overlapped trees), so the flag didn't entirely go away. Now, one thing I could do differently is move those new function pointers to the btree cursor and add a xfs_btree_init_cursor() that checks the flag and sets the function pointers accordingly. It seems a little funny to me to be sprinking function pointers in both btree_cursor and btree_ops, but I suppose the flag is in the cursor, so having function pointers there too probably isn't so bad. That encapsulates some btree details so that each btree doesn't have to get them right, so I'll at least code this up and add it to the end of my -experimental tree. I'm not sure how far Dave has gotten in evaluating/fixing/whatever the for-next-for-4.8-2 tree to send to Linus, so I'll hold off on folding that fix into the existing patch unless Dave wants it for his second merge-window pull request. --D [1] https://www.spinics.net/lists/xfs/msg40870.html -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
