What are the plans for dazuko to be submitted to the upstream kernel and accepted there? We have a policy of only adding patches to our kernel tree that are already accepted by the upstream community, otherwise we end up with big support problems (remember the ckrm mess...)
Thanks for your comments. I've asked John at dazuko.org about upstreaming this dazuko kernel patch, so we'll see... But I think his focus is more on developing (and eventually upstreaming) the new dazukofs approach. BTW, the patch to put dazuko in-kernel is very contained; it just adds a security/dazuko directory and doesn't mess w/ any other files. So it *could* be easily dropped if necessary... ;-) As a note: With the latest kernel changes, a lot of anti-virus vendors are going to have to re-architect their solutions. It would be nice if we could provide them w/ a stable, in-kernel interface. Given that we don't have an upstream solution yet, putting dazuko in-kernel seems like a relatively contained way to solve a customer/partner problem. In the meantime, I'll keep working w/ the current dazuko-redirfs KMP and try to get some testing in place.
