It's probably a lot more with local variables and such. It's way too much. You guys have to fix this stuff. If TCP's full send and receive path can be done in less function calls, XFS can allocate blocks in less too. I would even say 10 function calls deep to allocate file blocks is overkill, but 22 it just astronomically bad. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
