Hi,
First of all, thank you for posting these patches.
These three kernel-doc comment completions are necessary.
One thing I would like to point out is that the last part of the
descriptive comment for this patch is not accurate.
nilfs_btree_convert_and_insert() is used to convert configurations
from other forms of block mapping (the one that currently exists is
direct mapping) to a B-tree, and is not intended to split a B-tree
node block on excess of the number of entries.
So, I'd like to slightly adjust the description for this patch and
send all three to upstream.
Or, if you want to fix it yourself, please send me the revised version.
Thanks,
Ryusuke Konishi
