Message-ID: <20080701081026.GB16691@infradead.org> Date: Tue, 1 Jul 2008 04:10:26 -0400 From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@...radead.org> To: Takashi Sato <t-sato@...jp.nec.com> Cc: akpm@...ux-foundation.org, viro@...IV.linux.org.uk, "linux-ext4@...r.kernel.org" <linux-ext4@...r.kernel.org>, "xfs@....sgi.com" <xfs@....sgi.com>, "dm-devel@...hat.com" <dm-devel@...hat.com>, "linux-fsdevel@...r.kernel.org" <linux-fsdevel@...r.kernel.org>, "linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org" <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org>, axboe@...nel.dk, mtk.manpages@...glemail.com Subject: Re: [PATCH 3/3] Add timeout feature I still disagree with this whole patch. There is not reason to let the freeze request timeout - an auto-unfreezing will only confuse the hell out of the caller. The only reason where the current XFS freeze call can hang and this would be theoretically useful is when the filesystem is already frozen by someone else, but this should be fixed by refusing to do the second freeze, as suggested in my comment to patch 1. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
