https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D233245 --- Comment #7 from Conrad Meyer <cem@freebsd.org> --- (In reply to Kirk McKusick from comment #6) Ok, I will leave it on the fs list then. > In about 2000 I used the `special topics' lecture of my advanced code rea= ding > class to do a walk-through of the soft updates code. It is a 2.5 hour vid= eo of > me going through softdep.h and ffs_softdep.c. It predates the addition of= the > journaling support, so reflects a simpler time, but is probably still use= ful to > get a general understanding. I would be willing to make the video availab= le to > you if you want to watch it. I think my employer has licensed some of your video series, but none specifically annotated as around 2000. I see a 2006 "data structures" seri= es where #6 covers UFS, including SU, and a 2009 "intensive code walkthrough" series where #15 is a "special topics," including soft updates. I don't suppose you're referring to one of those? If not, I would certainly apprec= iate a copy of the video. > I believe that commenting code is very important and have tried to do a g= ood > job of it in the soft updates code. So I strongly encourage you to work to > improve it. Often the original author overlooks things that seem obvious = to > them but in fact are confusing to those that are not intimately familiar = with > the code. Absolutely! > So filling in those gaps is a valuable addition. Ok, great. Sounds like I have plenty of direction in how to proceed. :-) --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
