Eugene, Ok, I have Linux Fast-STREAMS passing all test cases on x86_64 SMP. Changes to Linux Fast-STREAMS are available immediately to sponsors of and subscribers to the OpenSS7 on the CVS archive.
<marketingplug> If anyone needs the changes immediately, sponsorship of the OpenSS7 Project doesn't cost all that much. mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] </marketingplug> I will now finish proper 32-bit compatibility before re-releasing Linux Fast-STREAMS. LiS, OTOH, fails a bunch more (10 or 12 more) test cases. Some of these appear to the 64bit issues. Added to the other 40 or so test case lockups previously discovered on SMP, I cannot see that LiS is usable in a 64bit SMP environment at all. (I'm sure that it might work fine for some very narrow applications.) Coupled with the fact that existing BLD32OVER64 and ioctl32 conversion is fundamentally flawed, I will likely not be updating LiS unless requested by a sponsor. Please use Linux Fast-STREAMS in such an environment. The strcompat package includes LiS source (and some LiS binary) compatibility for Linux Fast-STREAMS to assist with any transition issues. --brian On Tue, 21 Feb 2006, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > > - For LiS I will rip the ioctl conversion hash table and the cdrom > > conversion functions from the system map and override the CDROM > > ioctls with a function that checks for character or block device > and > > then either calls the CDROM conversion or calls the STREAMS > > conversions. > > > > How does that sound? > That sounds rather heavy. > > I'm wondering if there is simpler way of fixing that problem. > > Anyhow, did you have a chance to implement and test that fix? > > Are there a lot of changes? > > -- > Eugene > > > > _________________________________________________________________ > > Try the New Netscape Mail Today! > Virtually Spam-Free | More Storage | Import Your Contact List > [1]http://mail.netscape.com > > References > > 1. http://mail.netscape.com/ -- Brian F.
