I'll let Dave chime in if he disagrees. Yes, that's correct. I didn't finish this patch - I never wrote the comments in the code to explain this because I don't bother doing that until I've validated the heuristic and know it mostly works as desired. I simply hadn't closed the loop. Please add comments to the code to explain what the magic "1000" is... > > <nod> I'll await a response on this... > > <shrug> No response after 11 days, I'll not hold this up further over a > minor point. I've been on PTO for the last couple of weeks, and I'm still catching up on email. You could have just pinged me on #xfs asking if I'd seen this, just like jlayton did about the mgtime stuff last week. I answered even though I was on PTO. You always used to do this when you wanted an answer to a question - I'm curious as to why have you stopped using #xfs to ask questions about code, bugs and patch reviews? -Dave. -- Dave Chinner david@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
