Ok, but do it step by step: - split out useful pieces like the "patched in enable/disable flags" and submit them separate with an example user or two [I got a couple of candidates e.g. with some of the sysctls in VM or networking] - post and merge that. - don't implement anything initially that is not needed by blktrace - post a minimal marker patch together with the blktrace conversion for review again on linux-kernel - await review comments. This review would not cover the basic need of markers, just the specific implementation. - then potentially merge incorporate review comments - then merge - later add features with individual review/discussion as new users in the kernel are added. -Andi - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
