Given that we're under two months out, I thought it would be time to post a summary of the topics we've collected so far (Nick will post the MM summit ones later). Look this over, and if there's anything missing, propose it ... or if you have cross Storage/FS/MM topics, post them too. Oh, and since we're not the most organised bunch, if you posted a topic and don't see it in the list, please resend ... we probably lost it in an email shuffle. Current Filesystem Topics: Alex Elder Upstream maintainer for XFS, general discussion on FS/IO Aneesh Kumar Rich-acl patches which work better with NFSv4 acl and CIFS acl Anshul Madan reflink for NFS Chuck Lever NFS/IPV6 and NFS O_DIRECT, Wu's read-ahead work, vitro perf tools Eric Sandeen Advances in testing, TRIM/DISCARD/Alignment, writeback sanity James Lentini reflink for NFS Jan Kara Discuss/drive sanity review of writeback and general ext*/jbd Michael Rubin Writeback scaling Sage Weil Statlite, generic interface for describing file striping for distributed FS, VFS scalability Al Viro Sorting out d_revalidate and other dcache issues Coly Li directory/large file scalability Sorin Faibish Cache writeback discussion Current Storage Topics: Eric Seppanen Next generation SSDs, performance implications on Linux I/O Boaz Harrosh PNFS performance considerations, bio_list based/async raidN for generic use; stable pages for I/O FUJITA Tomonori SCSI target mode, iSCSI, block layer SG (bsg), sg, IOMMU, DMA issues Hannes Reinecke libfc/multipath/error handing James Smart FCOE proposal for rework of the FC sysfs tree, work with Hannes on other transport/SCSI subsystem topics Jeff Moyer IO scheduler Joel Becker SAN management plugin Martin Petersen Updates on DIF/DIX, TRIM/DISCARD/UNMAP, generic support for WRITE_SAME Plus some MM summit ones which Nick will summarise. For the benefit of those who've forgotten here's the original Call for topics and attendees: This year we'll hold the Linux Storage and Filesystems summit jointly with the VM summit on the two days before LinuxCon in Boston (that's Sunday and Monday) at the Renaissance Hotel: http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/linuxcon We're planning to hold some sessions jointly and split into three tracks (Filesystems, Storage and VM) for others, so we're encouraging proposals for discussion that cover areas relevant to all three groups as well as more specific technical topics. Suggestions for agenda topics should be sent to lsf10-pc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and optionally cc the Linux list which would be most interested in it: SCSI: linux-scsi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx FS: linux-fsdevel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (plus relevant fs specific list) MM: linux-mm@xxxxxxxxx Please tag your subject with [LSF/VM TOPIC] so those of us who're not very organised can find them easily in our inboxes. The agenda topics and attendees will be selected by the programme committee, but the final agenda will be by formed by consensus of the attendees on the day. We'll try to cap attendance at around 20 per track to facilitate discussions although the final numbers will depend on the room sizes at the venue. Requests to attend should be sent to: lsf10-pc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx please summarise what you'll bring to the meeting, and what you'd like to discuss. please also tag your email with [ATTEND] so there's less chance of it getting lost in the large mail pile. Presentations are allowed to guide discussion, but are strongly discouraged. There will be no recording or audio bridge, however written minutes will be published as in previous years: 2009: http://lwn.net/Articles/327601/ http://lwn.net/Articles/327740/ http://lwn.net/Articles/328347/ Prior years: http://www.usenix.org/events/lsf08/tech/lsf08sums.pdf http://www.usenix.org/publications/login/2007-06/openpdfs/lsf07sums.pdf If you have feedback on last year's meeting that we can use to improve this year's, please also send that to: lsf10-pc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Thanks, James Bottomley -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxx For more info on Linux MM, see: http://www.linux-mm.org/ .
