Joe, > I'm a bit confused. On the one hand you've asked for this to be > included in linux-next, yet on the other you're still making big > design changes. I am sorry for confusing you. But I believe it is not a big design change. Porting the daemon to kernel remains most of the code unchanged. There are already two daemons in-kernel, flush_work and migrate_work, and new daemon can be implemented just like them and implementing daemon is usually loose-coupled. If changing the design is absolutely prohibited after asking for staging, I apologize it for all of you. But if this issue is to discuss sooner or later, the time is now. This is why I posted this issue at this point of time. My plan is to fix this issue and post v2 patch against the latest linux-next. Also, planning to add more comments is included in my plan. Few of my colleagues pointed out that my code needs more comments. > When you first posted this code I said you'd need to get some people > behind it who are using this successfully. How far along this path > are you? Actually, no progress. Asking for staging is for getting 3rd party users which is your request. This is kind of a chicken and egg problem. Without staging, I think I have no chance of those users and staging tree exists for this purpose. Akira -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
