Well, POHMELFS can use up to 90 out of 512 or 1024 on x86, but that just moves a problem a bit closer. IMHO problem can be in fact, that copy can be more significant overhead than per page sockt lock and direct DMA (I belive most of the GigE and above (and of course RDMA) links have scatter-gather and RX checksumming), it has to be tested, so I will change writeback path for POHMELFS to test things. If there will not be any performance degradataion (and I believe there will not be, as long as no improvements, since tests were always network bound), I will use that approach. -- Evgeniy Polyakov -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
