Good point, merging can change both the start and length. Based on that I think tagging in the caller of xfs_bmapi_reserve_delalloc is wrong, and we need to do it inside xfs_bmapi_reserve_delalloc where we know if we did speculative preallocation. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-xfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
