If I understand correctly (I may be wrong), once this patch is applied a COPY may fail that previously worked--because we're switching over to the asynchronous copy implementation before it's actually complete. Of course, that's fixed by the end of this series. But we try to avoid that situation, where functionality is temporarily broken in the middle of a patch series and then fixed later. Options might be to squash this patch together with some of the later patches. Or go ahead and add this code but don't actually enable it till later. (E.g. arrange that the "if (!copy->cp_synchronous)" case won't be taken till the last patch. Maybe it already works that way, I can't tell.) Or maybe there's some slicker way that I don't see right now. --b. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-nfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
