[Ocfs2-devel] [RFC][PATCH] masklog: update comments in masklog.h

[Coly Li]

In upstream ocfs2 code, /proc interface for mask log is updated into files under
/sys/fs/o2cb/masklog, comments in fs/ocfs2/cluster/masklog.h are out of date.

This patch modifies the commens in cluster/masklog.h, which also provides a bash
script example on how to change the log mask bits.

- * 	write(fd, "ENTRY on", 8);
+ * 	write(fd, "allow", 5);

- * would turn the entry bit on.  "1" is also accepted in the place of "on", and
- * "off" and "0" behave as expected.
+ * Echo allow/deny/off string into the logmask files can flip the bits on or
+ * off as expected, here is the bash script for example:
  *
- * Some trivial shell can flip all the bits on or off:
- *
- * log_mask="/proc/fs/ocfs2_nodemanager/log_mask"

- * 		# $1 is "on" or "off", say
- * 		echo "$bit $1" > $log_mask
