Yeah that might be what happens. > To the extent possible, you could reuse common code paths and simplify the > backporting of bug fixes into the existing stable branch. Code reuse is problematic because struct bkey itself changes, a lot of the code that's factored out as a library now depends on the specific layout of struct bkey :/ Gonna try and backport as much as possible that doesn't require changing the on disk format when I have time, though. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-bcache" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
