[PATCH 07/13] xfs: allow merging ioends over append boundaries

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



There is no real problem merging ioends that go beyond i_size into an
ioend that doesn't.  We just need to move the append transaction to the
base ioend.  Also use the opportunity to use a real error code instead
of the magic 1 to cancel the transactions, and write a comment
explaining the scheme.
