We should talk; I'm currently working on an async bmap function for ext4, which I then intended to use for a modified high-level AIO support framework that allowed for async metadata access. That is, I'm interested in solving the "AIO isn't really 'A'" problem. That's a different problem that what you're working on, but it's obviously going to touch the same code. (Actually, my original plan was to not touch the generic code in __blockdev_direct_IO and below and create some ext4-specific code for now, but if you're going to be messing around in that code path anyway, we should coordinate....) - Ted -- 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
