I think this should unconditionally avoid the schedule, and while we're at it we should kill _xfs_buf_ioend and opencode it here and at the other callsite. Also atomic_dec_and_test really just returns true/false - there should ne no need for the explicit == 1 in the conditional. _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
