No problem, there are multuple patches for some longstanging bugs, or several versions of patch series. This is something we need to be able to deal with anyway. david -- 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

The above patch is 1 of 4 that were submitted. Should those other three be included also. I did a couple of spot checks and the changes were not picked up in another patch. A couple of things bother me about these 4 patches. First of all, nobody commented about them on this mailing list --- either good or bad. Second, if the descriptions and code is at all accurate, why were these patches not included in the flury of patches applied later in the year to bring btrfs-progs more up-to-date? These patches may look good but almost none of the changes will apply to integration-20130121 or 91d9eec. So some effort will be needed to refit/rebase these patches. I am willing to do that if there is some agreement that this should be done. Of the 4 patches, the one addressing segfaults is the most serious. The others deal with simple problems including one which changes spaces to tab characters.
