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.
Hm, wouldn't it be better doing the other way? Leaving LINUX for 2.4
and putting newer stuff
in LINUX26 (and in the future LINUX28 etc...)?

Thoughts?
