| |
I just got a nice XFS oops due to the direct_IO API change in 2.4. Guys, this is a STABLE series and APIs are supposed to be exactly that, _STABLE_. If you really think O_DIRECT on NFS is soo important please add a ->direct_IO2 for NFS like the reiserfs read_inode2 hack.
But what's the use of it anyway? AFAIK it's mostly for whoracle setups that have their data on netapps but that needs a certified vendor kernel not mainline.. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
