Hi, Ryo Tsuruta
I applied your patches(both) into the latest kernel(27), and dm-ioband looks work well(other than schedule_timeout in alloc_ioband_device); But I think you are the author of bio_tracking, so it is high appreciated if you can give your comments and advices for potential difference between 27-rc5-mm1 and 2.6.27 to me.
And our test team want to test bio_tracking as your benchmark reports, so would you please send me your test codes? Thanks in advance.
Regards, Zumeng
P.S. The following are my changes to avoid schedule_timeout:
