I plan on getting the 2.5 stuff in shape (seems it's already pretty good, excellent work Peter!)
Thanks, but I do suspect there is code in the patch that tries to handle cases that can never happen. I didn't know exactly what values of bv_len and bv_offset are valid in the bio_vec struct, so the packet driver tries to handle all theoretically possible cases. If in reality these values always satisfy some alignment/size restriction, the code can probably be simplified.
and getting it in the kernel very soon now.
Cool.
Peter, I hope you don't mind, but I do consider you the 2.4 maintainer of the patch these days. You have been the defacto maintainer for quite some time anyways.
No, I don't mind at all. -- Peter Osterlund - petero2@telia.com http://w1.894.telia.com/~u89404340
