So just passing in one byte offset would make more sense to me. Of course it's not actually an offset anyore, but virtual address, but we use that offset naming all around xlog_align/xlog_bread and callers. Also I don't think there is a need for the buf_blks argument. The argument always comes directly from the xlog_get_bp number blocks argument, so the BBTOB(buf_blks) can be replaced by simply using a copy of b_buffer_length taken at the beginning of the function. _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
