From 57afd89f98a990747445f01c458ecae64263b2f8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: NeilBrown Date: Tue, 21 Jun 2005 17:17:13 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] md: improve the interface to sync_request 1/ change the return value (which is number-of-sectors synced) from 'int' to 'sector_t'. The number of sectors is usually easily small enough to fit in an int, but if resync needs to abort, it may want to return the total number of remaining sectors, which could be large. Also errors cannot be returned as negative numbers now, so use 0 instead 2/ Add a 'skipped' return parameter to allow the array to report that it skipped the sectors. This allows md to take this into account in the speed calculations. Currently there is no important skipping, but the bitmap-based-resync that is coming will use this.
