It seems rather dangerous to have a #define floating around that
could potentially get out of sync with the original, especially if
you transport the number and not the enum table. (It make it really
hard for cscope to find :-)
If it saves a header I don't see any harm in the original approach
with a comment preceding it explain what the bits are and why not to
screw them up.

I agree with Russell that you want cscope to tell you about every place those
bits are being used, so you want those defines or at least those symbols to
show up here.  Having them in a comment won't help cscope.

Dean

I'll put these defines in hsmapi.c, and revert DMF_EV_BITS back to using
these symbols:

/* DM_EVENT_* are defined in <xfs/dmapi.h>. Trying to avoid a dmapi dependency
 * in xfsdump since dmapi is not commonly used, yet this code needs to know some
 * of the event bits.
 */
#define DM_EVENT_READ           16
#define DM_EVENT_WRITE          17
#define DM_EVENT_TRUNCATE       18
#define DM_EVENT_DESTROY        20
