Current fiemap is a per-inode information, Daves new call is per-fs. Making one a flag of another is a gross user interface. In addition we're bound to get issue where filesystems fail to wire up fiemap to the tons of different iops just for this operation, or accidentally wire up "real" fiemap to things like special files or pipes. Btw, I'd like t orestate that I really love to see this functionality in the VFS, just not multiplexed over FIEMAP. -- 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
