I try very hard to review patches mechanically and not be biased so that after a while people know if their patches will be merged or not without waiting for feedback. In this case, I had asked you not to send patches renaming out labels and then the next day you sent me a string of patches renaming out labels. If you were a lustre dev then I would accept these renames definitely. But I believe that for anyone else, I would ask them what the point of doing these renames is. I do not think I have been unfair to you. There was no element of surprise. Part of the reason we have CodingStyle is so that we can tell people "That's not in CodingStyle, that's just your own opinion so don't redo code just because you have a different opinion from the maintainer." > Are you generally willing to change the exception handling for > the memory allocations in the function "mgc_process_recover_log" > at all? I like the first patch in this series. I do not like the renames. I don't care too much about patches 5 and 6 except that they should be folded together and you should not move "req" and "eof" around. Mostly I wish you would just focus on fixing bugs instead of these sorts of patches. It is a lot of work for me to explain how to redo patches but it is worth it for bugfixes. regards, dan carpenter -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
