I have the portals device working on TCP here, and would like to
start testing on the ORNL Cray soon. It would be more convenient
for playing both locally and remotely if I had the source checked
into a repo somewhere. Would anybody object if I put this in
mainline and continued to develop there? It doesn't touch much of
anything outside bmi_portals. But you would see more little commit
messages as I continue to fix things up.
For a related question, I've been finding little leaks all over with
valgrind. To avoid lots of false positives, it is nice if all the
"skip4" and similar padding statements in BMI are filled with
zeroes. I have patches to do this. But in doing so I found a bug
where we always waste 8 bytes on the wire for every encoding of a
distribution. Teensy in the larger scale of things, but nicer to
get rid of it. This requires a bump to PVFS2_PROTO_MAJOR. Hence
the question: what's the release schedule look like? Does anybody
care if I play with the protocol like this now?
I don't think there are any release plans imminent for the stuff in
HEAD. There are some minor patches to 2.6.3 that should probably get
released (the 2.6.22 kernel stuff especially), but those should be
made to the 2.6 branch anyway.
