Hi Adil,

let me ask you something. How useful do you think those changes are ?
Have you learned anything by creating those patches ?

Just to clarify why I am asking such weird questions. It's not one of
those sneer questions, I would really like to know.

Thanks!

The really sad thing is that this patch does not even apply because
the path is malformed.

So you've learned something :). But seriously such patches are
causing more problems than it solves. It's perfectly fine to clean
up the code in the area you're changing anyway, but making coding
style patches just for a sake of it is not usually useful. Moreover
it is not useful for you as well, because you're not going to learn
anything.

There are plenty of real problem to be solved, but it actually
involves reading and understanding the code first.

Just for example:

 - get familiar with xfstests
 - there might still be problems with unified ext4 driver where
   we might use options not suited for respective file system
 - there are still issues with bigalloc
 - I suspect that there will be some problems with file system >16TB
 - recently there has been some reports from bigzilla.kernel.org
 - or you can just read the code, trying to understand how it works
   and soon or later you will find something to fix :) I am sure
   about that.

Maybe someone else have better suggestions...

Good luck!

I agree with you, it makes sense.

Thanks a lot Lukas for your suggestions. I'll definitely look into
that as I really wanted to learn and contribute. I have seen bits and
pieces in xfs but didnt get more documentation on implementation part,
shall try to work upon that. More suggestions for newbie's like me,
are welcome :)

Thanks a lot.

Rgds,
Adil
