E.g. the BIO_MAX_SECTORS and BIO_MAX_SIZE removal. I really don't like the _mp / _sp naming for the iteratators, I think they should have a _page and _segment in the name instead, and preferably done in a way that breaks compilation for old code, e.g. never reuse the old names. I also think it would be really useful to convert bio bounce and raid1 (and generally everything bio based) to deal with multi-page biovecs instead of making it opt-in. > 1) converting bio_for_each_segment() to *_rd() and *_wt() > > - this change should be a mechanical thing I don't think the short prefix naming is very useful. I'd also like to understand where the need for thee comes from, as this didn't appear in Kent's patches. Better documentation of them would be very useful. > > 2) cleanup on direct access to .bi_io_vec and .bi_vcnt from btrfs, > dm, bcache, ... > > - this kind of work may take some time to do > - most of them are in btrfs Removing access to these from outside the core block code would be a very useful patchset on it's own, so I' dsuggest to finish that before continuing on the rest of the series. -- 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
