Doing the slow path in userspace worked out okay but not great on the initiator, but it has the potential to become a nightmare worse than oprofile if the split ends up not beeing perfect. Given that we pretty well tested and working code that's used in lots of production setups my vote is for taking it as-is unless someone can actually show a prototype for a nicely working user/kernel split. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
