I remember I send out > our the whole implementation, Why not directly review our patches? This is patch review, I'm not sure what you are expecting in terms of direct review. The patches you sent out were reviewed by Christian, he stated he thinks this should use sync_file, I was interested to see if this was actually possible, so I just adapted the patches to check if it was possible to avoid adding a lot of amd specific code for something that isn't required to be. Hence why I've sent this as an rfc, as I want to see if others think using sync_file is a good or bad idea. We may end up going back to the non-sync_file based patches if this proves to be a bad idea, so far it doesn't look like one. I also reviewed the patches and noted it shouldn't add the wait/signal interfaces, that it should use the chunks on command submission, so while I was in there I re wrote that as well. Dave.
