But if you are OK then I'll prepare the patch. With my "VFS person critical of struct inode size increases" hat on I'm still critical of any struct inode increase, so if you can find an option that say just takes the address of the counter variable I'd prefer that. But even if we have to increase the inode this might be one of the cases where it's fine as cache flushing is something at least all on disk filesystems need to do. -- 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
