Linux Developers Discuss A Global Counter For Block/Disk Changes

[Danielsan]

Both have contributed to Linux far more than you ever did, so that's that.

And for that reason their names will be carved into the Linux history for ever!

Of course they will, just like every other contributor. Just because you feel an irrational hate towards them doesn't mean the world at large has a duty to ostracise them.

Nope, they will have a better recognition more than the others not matter what.

Let us say all together a great farewell to the sarcasm...

I totally agreed with any single one of those.

Then you are not very consistent. I read all, and several pairs are clear contractions.

What about the performance impact of performing an atomic operation on the same global variable for every disk operation? Wouldn't this increase latency due to synchronization between cpus?

I think the counter is used only when new disk is inserted instead of for every IO.

Hi there,

I've been contributing to the Linux kernel since 2005 while working in Canonical and Red Hat.
And I'll keep doing it now that I work for Microsoft, get over it

That was the point. A little bit of something for everyone
