Tejun,

If you could explain your objection to James's patches in this area, I would really appreciate it.

We have several conflicting patches in this area, and we need to get the details sorted.

I think you mentioned a key objection that was we actually need to know /two/ sizes at the block layer: (1) the size including all padding and drain buffers, and (2) the raw or "true" size.

Jeff
