Hello I just found following function in xfs_inode.c: STATIC uint _xfs_dic2xflags( __uint16_t di_flags) { uint flags = 0; if (di_flags & XFS_DIFLAG_ANY) { if (di_flags & XFS_DIFLAG_REALTIME) flags |= XFS_XFLAG_REALTIME; if (di_flags & XFS_DIFLAG_PREALLOC) flags |= XFS_XFLAG_PREALLOC; if (di_flags & XFS_DIFLAG_IMMUTABLE) flags |= XFS_XFLAG_IMMUTABLE; if (di_flags & XFS_DIFLAG_APPEND) flags |= XFS_XFLAG_APPEND; if (di_flags & XFS_DIFLAG_SYNC) flags |= XFS_XFLAG_SYNC; if (di_flags & XFS_DIFLAG_NOATIME) flags |= XFS_XFLAG_NOATIME; if (di_flags & XFS_DIFLAG_NODUMP) flags |= XFS_XFLAG_NODUMP; if (di_flags & XFS_DIFLAG_RTINHERIT) flags |= XFS_XFLAG_RTINHERIT; if (di_flags & XFS_DIFLAG_PROJINHERIT) flags |= XFS_XFLAG_PROJINHERIT; if (di_flags & XFS_DIFLAG_NOSYMLINKS) flags |= XFS_XFLAG_NOSYMLINKS; if (di_flags & XFS_DIFLAG_EXTSIZE) flags |= XFS_XFLAG_EXTSIZE; if (di_flags & XFS_DIFLAG_EXTSZINHERIT) flags |= XFS_XFLAG_EXTSZINHERIT; if (di_flags & XFS_DIFLAG_NODEFRAG) flags |= XFS_XFLAG_NODEFRAG; if (di_flags & XFS_DIFLAG_FILESTREAM) flags |= XFS_XFLAG_FILESTREAM; } return flags; } Can't the whole function be replaced by something like this? flags = di_flags & MASK; The corresponding XFS_DIFLAGS and XFS_XFLAGS have the same values. utz _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
