To be honest, I'd like to see all command processing at user level
(including read/write ... for block devices, it shouldn't be that
inefficient, since you're merely going to say remap an area from one
device to another; as long as no data transformation ever occurs, the
user never touches the data and it all remains in the kernel page
cache).
Ok, Tomo and I briefly talked about this when we saw Jeff's post about
doing block layer drivers in userspace on lkml. I think we were somewhat
prepared for this given some of your other replies.
Could you give me a reference on this message, please?
So Vlad and other target guys what do you think? Vlad are you going to
continue to maintain scst as kernel only, or is there some place we can
work together on this on - if your feelings are not hurt too much that
is :) ?
From one side, I hate dropping anything in the point where it isn't
somehow completed. From other side, I don't have much time to spend on
this my hobby. Nobody pays me for that, it's just for fun.
