Committee members, Please consider inviting me to the Storage, Filesystem, & MM Summit. I am working in Chris Mason's team at Oracle focusing on storage I/O. My latest focus is on completing the work started on by Zach Brown to add a kernel interface to allow kernel code to submit aio, and having the loop device submit direct IO requests to the underlying file system. Zach's prototype: http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-fsdevel/2009/10/22/6516163 I should have patches ready for review within the next couple weeks. Having gotten back into the filesystem/storage area after briefly working the embedded world at IBM, I look forward to participating in the summit and seeing everyone face-to-face again. Thanks, Dave "Shaggy" Kleikamp -- 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
