Kernel-wise I do not think we can be assume that changes such as these could be implemented right away so there is no need to change the doc at this stage. For now the kernel doc is the reference and nothing else. So this patch should NOT be changed IMHO at least not now. Eventually this could happen in the future, but not out of order with actual patches to update the code and tooling and certainly not now. -- Cordially Philippe Ombredanne -- 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
