I know this Here, this is the second time I wrote _exactly_ the same reply to your _exact_ same question (the first time I wrote _exactly_ the same reply to your exact same question was IIRC a few months before but I couldn't find the archive. http://archives.free.net.ph/message/20101015.033017.65c46426.ca.html So at this point, shut up. You had ample time to put up, and didn't. Now you're just obstructing and being unreasonable. To quote Christoph, you don't have carte blance power to delay progress. So stop being an arsehole, and don't fucking accuse me of scoffing and mocking you. Because I've been bending over backwards to answer _exactly_ the same questions multiple times from you and trying to show how either your assumptions are wrong, or reasonable ways we can mitigate potential regressions, and trying to be polite and civil the whole time. (which I might add is much more courtesy than you showed me when you tried to railroad your inode changes through without bothering to answer or even read half my comments about them). And what you have done is just ignore totally my replies to your concerns, stay quiet about them for a month, and then come back with exactly the same thing again. Like 3 or 4 times. Really. At this point, if you have already posted a particular comment more than 50 times, do everybody a favour and redirect the next verbatim copy /dev/null, OK? I'm sick of it. *Constructive* criticism only, from now on. Thanks. I need a zone input to the shinker API, I have demonstrated what for and why, with good justification, and so I am going to get that API change merged. It is a simple superset of the current API's functionality and not some big scary monster (except by somebody who fundmantally doesn't understand it). -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxx For more info on Linux MM, see: http://www.linux-mm.org/ .
