Dear all,
First thanks to Linus who start this wonderful OS and giving out for free. I am from Hong Kong and I would like to contribute on linux kerenl developments. I am a newbie to linux kernel hacking. I started on memory management system as my company is developing a linux native hardware platform which is a diskless computer. Now I am writing experimental filesystems using the idea from Erez who wrote the FiST which is a powerful stackable filesystem. I am now debuging the code from him to make the filesystem working properly on a production system. My work is to improve the reliability, performance and manageability of the platform. That makes me dig in deep into the kernel recently. I sucessfully ported the code for nfsswap from Justus Heine to kernel from 2.4.0 to 2.4.6 , up to know my system is running 2.4.4 . I also improve the code a bit to improve some of the overheads and now it is running fine on the system. But I notice that the sources from the kernel seems want a future of nfs swap support, but there are not official code for this at the moment. I have tested the nfsswap code for a couple of months and reporting no errors at all even under extreme high loaded ethernet. I would be happy to make myself contributing the kernel development and supporting the work for nfsswap and FiST . I would like to share the code with others. If this message is heard by the VFS maintainer, please contact me. Thanks.
regards,
