As anyone can see in the threads I referred to, you have done your best to deny that the crashes and system hangs were caused by LIO, although I had posted exact instructions on how to reproduce the bugs. Regarding kernel integration and subsystem maintainership: one of the important tasks of a maintainer is to verify whether reported bugs are reproducible, and if so, to resolve them. I'm happy none of the current kernel maintainers has the habitude of denying bug reports that are 100% reproducible and which contain exact instructions about how to reproduce the bug. > "Zero-copy means that data is copied as few times as possible". > > when I was attempting to explain the finer pointers of > Target_Core_Mod/ConfigFS design to you and Vlad. Remember that one..? > > http://groups.google.com/group/linux-iscsi-target-dev/browse_thread/thread/8cff61671cd2de6b/37ade00e607dd8c8 You are going off topic -- the above statement has nothing to do with this thread. Regarding the statement itself: it's incorrect to quote that sentence out of its context. In that thread, as anyone can see who looks up the URL, I was using the word copies to refer to transfers between hardware and RAM, not to copying data from RAM to RAM. Looking at that statement now I agree that that was misleading, and that I should have written that statement in another way. Do you think people like it to discuss with you when you try to make them appear ridiculous all the time ? And what I do not understand is that you are playing games with the CC list all of the time. It's considered impolite to leave out people from a CC list unless someone asked explicitly to be left out.
