"I think the SG stuff looks ok now, but I think we have a lot of 'fix up the rough edges' to go!" Linus Torvalds noted regarding some of the fallout from the recent merge of Jens Axboe's SG chaining patchset. During one of the many discussions, Jens explained:

"It's all about the end goal - having maintainable and resilient code. And I think the sg code will be better once we get past the next day or so, and it'll be more robust. That is what matters to me, not the simplicity of the patch itself."

Boaz Harrosh commented, "thanks Jens for doing all this, The performance gain is substantial and we will all enjoy it." Jens replied, "my pleasure, I just wish it could have been a little less painful. But in a day or two, it should all be behind us and we can move forward with making good use of it."
