That made sense to me, but upon a closer look while making the change, I
think it's not a good idea:
stripe_add_to_batch_list() already has a stripe_head variable called
"head". If it now has an argument called "head_sh", it becomes very
confusing. This statement wouldn't make any sense:
+ if (last_sh && head_sector == last_sh->sector) {
+ head = last_sh;
+ atomic_inc(&head->count);
+ } else {
If it was changed to "head = head_sh" what would that even mean?
>From stripe_add_to_batch_list's perspective, it is the "last" stripe
head. And it then decides whether the it is the correct stripe to use as
the head of the list to add to.
So I decline to make this change.
Thanks,
