Steve, Pavel, all Here is the latest version of the remaining compounding patches. I have further reduced the size of the first patch where the actual removal of the 4 byte length happens so it should be easier to review. The patches are arranged as such: 01: This is the most complex patch. It removes the 4 byte length from all response structures and updates the remaining codepaths where we assume a 4 byte length at the start of the buffer. 02-06: These patches finalize the removal of the length header. Most of these patches have very low complexity and should be easy to review. 07-11: These patches do the plumbing to allow us to send an array of requests down the stack. 12-15: Starts to prepare the Open/Query and Close operations for compounding. 16: Convert QFS to use compounding. For now, lets focus on patches 01-06 since these are the most complex patches (patch 01) and once we have done these we have concluded the work to remove the four byte preamble for all smb2 packets. Once these are in we can move on to patches 07-16 which should be fairly trivial. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-cifs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
