Quote of the week
But being a
subsystem maintainer requires that you trust contributors to some
degree, and you just can't trust contributors when you're a
perfectionist. This means that the maintainer should be less of a
perfectionist than the contributors, otherwise he/she ends up doing
everything by him/herself.

Quote of the week Posted Apr 12, 2007 16:15 UTC (Thu) by i3839 (guest, #31386) [Link] Another good quote is from Rusty Russell:> Uhm, I am bit confused now. Why don't you just use end_request() here? What a question! end_request() doesn't end a request! What a crazy idea! As far as I can tell, every name in the block layer is actually some variant of "fuck off, this is too complicated for you to understand". Hope that clarifies! Rusty.

So what, pray tell, does end_request do?!?
Quote of the week Posted Apr 13, 2007 18:07 UTC (Fri) by i3839 (guest, #31386) [Link] It's a bit of a mystery, really. It surely seems to try to end something.
void end_request(struct request *req, int uptodate)
{
if (!end_that_request_first(req, uptodate, req->hard_cur_sectors)) {
add_disk_randomness(req->rq_disk);
blkdev_dequeue_request(req);
end_that_request_last(req, uptodate);
}
}
