Here's a set of patches that implements rcfs using configfs. It reduces

the

rcfs codebase by over 1200 lines (62%). Equally important, the new code is

much easier to maintain.




Given that this breaks the ce's, should patch sets like this even be
released against the ckrm-stable tree  ???.


 I expect in time that the CE's will be re-released against this set of
 core changes as well - especially the code that moves most of the CE
 to user level.  So, you are peeking in on some very early development
 here and your experiences are very useful to share.  For instance, I
 don't think we'll be making the cutover to declaring the f series as
 stable and complete for a while - it might be a month or two to shake
 things like this out.


I'm more than happy to test updates like this against the development tree
(f0 currently), but I have my doubts that this is a valid update against
"stable" (FSVO stable). This is going to confuse the hell out of any new
people coming across the project - I had the devils' own job trying to work
out what patches I should be  applying, and what to avoid when I joined the
list.


 Yeah - for that we apologize - I think as you joined, there were a lot
 of ideas for simplification brewing and they've been pulled out sor of
 suddenly.  So, we are feeling our way through what the f series will
 be, while at the same time trying to keep the e series stable for those
 who want to understand the basic functionality of CKRM.


Sorry about the confusion caused by posting the rcfs-based-on-configfs patches against the stable tree instead of the development tree as it should have been.

As mentioned in the note accompanying the patch release, the only reason for doing so was to give a flavor of the kind of reduction that can be seen and as an example of the ease of handling multiple classtypes (which won't be there in the f tree).

I hope to post the "real" one against the f tree soon.
