By having named arguments with proper types bugs like the existing one above should also be much more obvious to spot. As a follow on patch to that I think we could also get rid of all the vmap manipultions entirely, and just specify and I/O offset and length manually. The only thing required for that is a number of pages to skip at the beggining of the buffer from the log recovery code to _xfs_buf_ioapply, either by passing it down procedurally, or by adding a new filed to struct xfs_buf. In fact just relaxing the b_offset semantics to allow offsets larger than a page only in the I/O path would do it, but I'm not sure that version helps long-term maintenance. _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
