Hello All, I am a linux application programmer and kernel newbie.
I would like to use splice() / tee() to do some packet forwarding. I think these two systems calls are there in 2.6.18 kernel. My company is deciding to use either 2.6.21 or 2.6.22 kernel in our product. My question is : Is splice() stable in 2.6.21 / 2.6.22 ? I found this link where it says http://lwn.net/Articles/251707/ (search splice) Jens Axboe (2): splice: fix direct splice error handling Fix race with shared tag queue maps Looks like there were some issues with splice that has been fixed in 2.6.22.9 kernel. I am not sure how critical is that problem . Can I still use the 2.6.21/2.6.22 kernel for splice without any major issues ? If not, which kernel version would give me a stable splice() . Please note that I am not subscribed to this list , so please CC me (a reply-all would do) in your reply. Thanks in advance. -Saswat - 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/
