In my opinion this is a great idea.

I'm in the process of making some fairly deep changes to the Linux cache manager, in the search of more performance, and I'm worried about the implications for the 2.4 kernel series. Rather than scattering the code with yet more #ifdefs, I was wondering how people would feel about the following proposal.

We create a new directory, src/afs/LINUX24 which is used for builds on 2.4 and earlier kernels. This gets a copy of the current src/afs/LINUX, stripped of everything that's 2.6 only. src/afs/LINUX then has all of the code that's only needed for 2.4 and earlier removed from it. This should both tidy up the Linux directories, and make it less likely that we'll inadvertently break 2.4 going forwards.

Thoughts?

Simon.
