Hi Vivek, > Also I wanted to test run your patches. How do I do that? I see that your > patches are based on dm quilt tree. I downloaded the dm-patches and tried > to apply on top of 2.6.30-rc1 but it failed.

To apply my patch, you need to edit the series file and comment out the patch files after "mm" section and my patch like this: ############################################################ # Marker corresponding to end of -mm tree. ############################################################ #dm-table-fix-alignment-to-hw_sector.patch mm # An attempt to get UML to work with dm. uml-fixes.patch ############################################################ # May need more work or testing, but close to being ready. ############################################################ # Under review #dm-exception-store-generalize-table-args.patch #dm-snapshot-new-ctr-table-format.patch #dm-snapshot-cleanup.patch #dm-raid1-add-clustering.patch dm-add-ioband.patch And then type "quilt push dm-add-ioband.patch" command. However, the patch can be applied, but a compile error is caused because the patch is against the previous dm-tree. > So what's the simplest way of testing your changes on latest kernels? So I've uploaded a patch against 2.6.30-rc1. Please use it if you like. http://people.valinux.co.jp/~ryov/dm-ioband/ The bio-cgroup patch against 2.6.30-rc1 will be uploaded within a few days. I'm looking forward to your feedback on dm-ioband. Thanks, Ryo Tsuruta -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
