Let me propose some ways of breaking it up. > • Progress on using iomap for NFSD READ/READ_PLUS (anna) > • Replacing nfsd_splice_actor This is probably worth its own session. We might want to include how to convert NFSD to use folios, or maybe that deserves its own conversation. > • Transition from page arrays to bvecs (dhowells, hch) This is something we can take to the hallway or discuss over beers or a meal. > • tmpfs directory cookie stability (cel) This could be a FS/MM session. Aside from directory cookies, there are issues about exporting any shmemfs- based filesystem (autofs is another). > • timestamp resolution and i_version (jlayton) I'll let Jeff propose something here, and take this off the NFSD-specific agenda. > • GSS Kerberos futures (dhowells) Perhaps this topic also requires us to be drunk first. Seriously, though... it could be a pretty specialized conversation, and thus left for the hallway track. Or, David and I could fold this into the bvecs discussion above, as these two are somewhat related. > • NFS/NFSD CI (jlayton) Network filesystems have special requirements for CI. Jeff has been working on shaping kdevops to work for our needs, and the work probably has broader appeal than only to NFS. This could be its own 30-minute session, or maybe we've got most everything worked out already? > • NFSD POSIX to NFSv4 ACL translation - writing down the rules (all) Could be its own session, but it might have only a handful of interested parties. -- Chuck Lever
