Hmm, the behaviour of aufs doen't change after patching actually, but I don't think it is truely harmless. Because, - the patch is messy and the code will be hard to read and understand. - the original simple assignment will be an "indirect assignment" via pointer. It MAY be a runtime overhead. But it should be minor and the clever compiler optimization MAY throw it away. - as a general policy, I am developing (and providing) aufs under vanilla kernel. I don't want put code which is specific to non-standard module. I hope you would agree that the patch will not be merged. J. R.
