[Pvfs2-developers] question

[Walter B. Ligon III]

Also appears to be another list "inprogress_sop_list"

what is that used for?

I'm not sure what happens with the post_sop_list - the function frees 
the sop ... which is freed elsewhere, but maybe the elsewhere will never 
be executed since the server is exiting, but it doesn't seem to tell BMI 
to remove the messages, so I don't think it will prevent their being 
used, only now that pointer is potentially a problem (having been freed).

As for my changes, I'm not sure bu probably an smcb is needed there, not 
an s_op, but I'll have to look at it.

What is the inprogress list ised for?
