Ok. > For exact device_num and sb->total_bytes, we may do post check when > device tree are loaded? > Splitting early_check() and post_check() seems valid for me. > (Also I prefer post_check() just warning, not forced exit) Why just warning? Superblock total_bytes and device sizes must be correct, otherwise all sorts of operations can fail randomly. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
