[v2] xfs: add check before calling xfs_mod_fdblocks

[PATCH v2] xfs: add check before calling xfs_mod_fdblocks

Posted by Shida Zhang 3 years, 10 months ago

Checks are missing when delta equals 0 in __xfs_ag_resv_free() and
__xfs_ag_resv_init().

 Changes from v1:
 -Add checks before calling xfs_mod_fdblocks instead.

This describes what the patch does, not the problem being solved is. 

i.e. This doesn't tell the reader why the delta can be zero in these
places, nor does it tell them what the impact of it being zero is.
We can't use this information to identify a system that is having
problems due to this issue because they havent' been described.

Hence when I ask for more detail about how something occurs, what I'm
asking for is a description of the how the problem was found, what
the impact of the problem has on systems, how the problem is
reproduced, etc.

Something led you to finding this problem - tell us the story so we
also know what you know and so can understand why the change needs
to be made. A good commit description tells the reader everything
you know about the problem that needs to be fixed, the code change
itself will then describe how the problem was fixed...

Cheers,

Dave.

Thanks for your suggestion. I will try to rephrase the description.

Cheers,
