Subject: Question about Old Fix Me comment in mempool.c
Date: Tue, 16 Dec 2014 23:32:27 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <5491075B.9080609@gmail.com> (raw)
Greetings Andrew and other maintainers,
I am wondering why the below comment is even in mempool.c and this has not been changed to a call to io_schedule as the kernel version is stupidly old and this should be fixed by now and the issues with DM would have been removed by now.
/*
* FIXME: this should be io_schedule(). The timeout is there as a
* workaround for some DM problems in 2.6.18.
*/
Sorry for the stupid question but I like to double check with the maintainers before I sent in a patch for things like this to see if I am missing anything:).
Thanks for Your Time,
Nick
