We finish a study which focuses on achieving consistent low latency for SSD arrays, especially timing tail latency in RAID level. We implement a Linux kernel driver called FusionRAID and we are interested in uploading codes to Linux upstream. > I notice that I should seperate my changes and style-check my codes before submitting. Are there any other issues I need to be aware of? Thank you for your time. Hi, Welcome to kernel development (I assume you are new here). Please refer to https://kernelnewbies.org/ for information about kernel development. Basically, we take changes in patches. So please follow the directions on this website. Once you are familiar with the basic work flow, you can think about how to integrate your work into the kernel. If you can share some details (code, paper) about the work, the community may give you some hint on which direction to go. I don't want to discourage you, but it is helpful to set the expectation. This sounds like a lot of work. And it is possible that we decide not to include it in upstream kernel. However, I am sure you can learn a lot from doing these work. :) I hope this helps. Thanks, Song
