List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Sender: nfs-bounces@lists.sourceforge.net Errors-To: nfs-bounces@lists.sourceforge.net G'day, These 14 patches are an experimental transport switch for knfsd. They're based on Tom Tucker's 01-svc-xprt-switch.patch from the nfsrdma project November release, but redesigned to provide as simple and clean an abstraction as possible to new transport-specific code. Various messy details of flags, reference counts and other behaviour which are currently redundantly handled in both TCP and UDP code, will be handled in generic code now. This makes the task of writing new transport code easier and less prone to breakage. These patches have received light testing in a tree similar to 2.6.19 on ia64, and been forward ported without further testing to 2.6.21. They're intended for testing in Tom's development tree, but are cc'ed to the Linux mailing list for initial review.
