Thanks. I will look into that right away. > Also i have to ask very politely if there is any progress ongoing in > merging changes into linus vanilla tree version of aoe.ko as it looks > like upstream is left unmaintained with respect to functionality added > in your aoe6 distribution of this module and the vanilla one gets > installed in the distributions by default... I did start down the path, but it turned out the simple change I intended to start with is bound up with some more complex changes. In fact, it would have helped if this patch: http://coraid.typepad.com/aoe_linux_proving_grounds/2009/03/processor-affinity-with-work_queues.html ... had gotten some feedback. Feedback on the experimental patches will really help me to make progress. This month I have been distracted from that work, but I should be returning to it now. I would like to avoid introducing regressions into the mainline, which is not a given: Because the changes that brought aoe6-48 to aoe6-71 would not apply to todays kernel and would not be accepted by the LKML developers, I have to create a new series of changes to lead the in-kernel driver towards aoe6-71. Your feedback along the way will help me to feel confident about pushing those changes into the kernel. -- Ed ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge This is your chance to win up to $100,000 in prizes!
