Sorry for being late to the game, but I don not like the in-kernel interface here at all. Given that Q_XGETQSTATV is a strict superset of Q_XGETQSTAT there is no need for the second method - just always fill out the larger in-kernel structure and only copy the smaller information to userspace for the Q_XGETSTAT case. That keeps the amount of code required in the implementations of the methods low and follows the model used elsewhere in the kernel (e.g. stat and statfs) _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
