Btw, I have to state that I very much disagree with dropping the direct I/O kernel changes, and I also very much disagree with keeping the immutable iovecs in. For the latter I think the immutable iovecs are useful and do want to see them eventually, but they were merged at the latest possible point in the merge window and cause breakage all over the tree, so they very clearly are not ready at this point, and I fear even more breakage if they do get merged. The changes for direct I/O from kernel space have been in for a long time, and they are blocking multiple consumers of the interface from getting submitted for about a year now. Even if the guts of the direct-io code will get a write based on another patchset from Kent that will go on top of the immutable iovec changes we need the interfaces now and not another year down the road. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-next" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
