Hi, The patch-set adds the following 2 dynamic load balancers: o dm-queue-length: queue-length oriented dynamic load balancer o dm-service-time: service-time oriented dynamic load balancer This patch-set can be applied on top of 2.6.29-rc8. No dependencies on Alasdair's linux-next patches. NOTE: While the patches compile and work with the current bio-based dm, for them to *properly* work, the request-based dm patches should be applied, too. See <http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/9/12/100> for why request-based dm improves multipath load balancing.
