This needs a rebase, and some benchmarking. But before I pull it up, is this the right direction? I saw little benefit from (2) after doing (1), but I was doing a really simple microbenchmark. Do we want both, or just 1, or is there an alternative we should consider? sage -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe ceph-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html PLEASE NOTE: The information contained in this electronic mail message is intended only for the use of the designated recipient(s) named above.
