Is this just about LOCs? I think you should wait to see how large kDAPL is *after* it has been properly integrated into the kernel before judging that. At present, the code is heavily commented and fully generalized to aid porting to multiple operating systems. It will look quite different once it is freed of these attributes. Also, I'll point out there is extensive debug and trace throughout the code, which are optional. BTW I agree with Yaron that one copy of code in DAPL replaces N copies of the same code in all RDMA drivers (IB, iWARP etc), or worse, upper layers. Which is why NFS/RDMA needs it.
