From: Dave Chinner <redacted> This is needed for the kernel buffer cache conversion to be able to wait on IO synchrnously. It is implemented with pthread mutexes and conditional variables. Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner <redacted>I am inclined to not merge patches 4 or 5 until there's something that uses it. It can be merged and tested together with consumers, rather than adding unused code at this point. Thoughts?I think I will let Dave answer this question since I believe he most likely has a roadmap on when the consumers will land.
Don't care, as long as everyone agrees with the direction. FWIW, I'm much more likely to use this completion interface in new userspace code than I am to use pthreads directly... Cheers, Dave. -- Dave Chinner david@fromorbit.com
