Hi Linus, We do use AIO at Google, and I primarily use fio (usually as part of xfstests) to test AIO functionality. If you like I can carry the patch in the ext4 tree and test it as part of the ext4 commits for the merge window. I probably won't be able to get to it until a bit later in the week, though. Things have been really crazy for me this past two months... - Ted -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
