Hello ,
I applied the DIO patches and built the kernel 2.6.18-rc6
(kernel.org).
And executed Aio-DioStressTest of LTP testsuite( ltp-full-20060822 )
on EXT2, EXT3 and XFS filesystems. For the EXT2 and EXT3 filesystems the
tests went okay. But I got stack trace on XFS filesystem and the machine
went down.

Also I executed some of the tests from the
http: // developer.osdl. org/daniel/AIO/TESTS/ and it went fine.
For further testing, I am planning to put stress workload on DB2 by
enabling AIO-DIO features of DB2. And for error path testing, I am
contemplating to use kprobe to inject the IO errors.
Will let you know the progress as it happens.
