Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-fs@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.org As part of some work related to my thesis, I've made some experimental changes to the FreeBSD NFS server code. Some of the changes improved end-to-end read performance substantially. For example, improving the read-ahead heuristic to recognize and handle some predictable but non-sequential access patterns can boost performance by at least 40%. How do I go about submitting my changes to the FreeBSD developers so that they can review them, and decide if they want to incorporate them, make them an optional patch, or ignore them, etc?
