Hello! My name is weylan, a Chinese student from Tsinghua University. So lucky. This is the second year of OpenAFS's GSoC project for me. kafs is a client of OpenAFS in Linux kernel. The project of this year are finishing the pioctl (pathless ioctl) implementation, DNS support for kafs, kafs callback interface, a standard keyring implementation and kafs work with OpenAFS client in different ports.
This the timeline of the project: Along the way, I plan on writing tests and documentation for each of the tasks that I implement. 4-26 to 5-23 As I had took this project last year, I could began to work on it now. Before the summer start, I could be going to implement the DNS records project or pioctl project. Be familiar with what needed to kernel development. 5-23 to 7-13 Before Mid-term evaluations deadline finish partly of the project: DNS AFSDB being able to obtain cell server location without using configuration files. A common pioctl implementation between kafs and OpenAFS to allow sharing of user-space 7-13 to 8-10 Finish the other task of the project and improve the documentation of project finished: There are another three task should do. I would try to complete the kafs callback interface. If I could finish it quickly. I would try to do the other project: A way for OpenAFS and kafs to be running on the same machine using different port numbers. Making a standard keyring implementation that would allow the client to obtain authentication tokens that would work for both kafs and OpenAFS. 8-10 to the end Take a week to scrub code, improve documentation -- Best Wish.
