:Matt, :Any chance of an -stable MFC on these? : :-Troy Cobb : Circle Net, Inc. : http://www.circle.net I am going to Cc -stable on the response to this excellent question. Yes, most of the NFS performance enhancements can be MFC'd relatively easily. The VN enhancements can be MFC'd except of course for the swap-backed support, which only CURRENT can handle. I am not going to even begin thinking about doing it until the current patchset is actually committed into -current and tested there for a while by a greater number of people. It could be a few weeks due to a number of factors. If someone wishes to MFC the performance related NFS patches after the patch set has been committed to current and allowed some time for wider testing, I won't have any objections and will be available to help. It will save me work :-). Else I may do it myself (though at the moment both my test machines are running -CURRENT so I can do tandem testing of VN/NFS combos). Another option, if someone wants to take this up: The NFS performance enhancements portion of the patchset has stabilized, I do not expect to do any more work on that part of the patchset in the near future so if someone wants to work up a patchset for -STABLE and start their own round of testing for -STABLE, STABLE would get the patches much sooner. Quite a bit of testing of these patches has already occured under CURRENT so the normal 'commit into current before stable' rules can be stretched a little and we can shorten the time frame after the commit into current before the commit into stable. But only if someone actually wants to do the work to port the NFS performance fixes to STABLE now. -Matt (NOTE: this patchset is currently for CURRENT only). :> Sent: Tuesday, August 31, 1999 1:31 AM :> To: freebsd-current@FreeBSD.ORG :> Subject: Re: multipatch #8 available :> :> :> I've spent several hours resyncing the source tree and :> revalidating the :> patchset (though w/ the buildworld breakage :> revalidation was not entirely :> complete).
