List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Sender: nfs-bounces@lists.sourceforge.net Errors-To: nfs-bounces@lists.sourceforge.net I'd like these 25 patches to be considered for inclusion in 2.6.19. 1. A patch that increases the minimum allowed port number to avoid a port used by some IPMI implementations. 2. A set of patches that provides a clean API for supporting per-transport RPC bind implementations. It also improves scalability by replacing the single portmapper spinlock with a per-transport bit lock. 3. A set of patches that replaces the two-call API for instantiating an RPC transport with a single-call API that allows for remote addresses of arbitrary size. 4. A set of patches that modifies the NFS client's symlink creation logic to use the page cache. This is the only NFS operation that makes use of large RPC buffers; using the page cache instead means it can use small RPC buffers now. Trond, these are patches you reviewed two weeks ago, with some modifications we've discussed, and one or two minor additions. Over the past months these have been tested, in various forms, in many different environments. Any other comments or review are welcome. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
