It's not just "kernel interfaces" which should go in before October 20th. If we really want the feature freeze to be real, we really will need to be hard-nosed about what we accept after the freeze date. (Said he who is frantically trying to finish up a last couple of ext2/3 features in before 2.6.) So I'd encourage folks to at least submit patches before Oct. 20th when they are ready, and not try to save stuff for after feature freeze.... - Ted ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ NFS maillist - NFS@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nfs From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 Return-Path: Received: (majordomo@vger.kernel.org) by vger.kernel.org via listexpand id ; Tue, 8 Oct 2002 17:59:59 -0400 Received: (majordomo@vger.kernel.org) by vger.kernel.org id ; Tue, 8 Oct 2002 17:59:59 -0400 Received: from thunk.org ([140.239.227.29]:63171 "EHLO thunker.thunk.org") by vger.kernel.org with ESMTP id ; Tue, 8 Oct 2002 17:59:11 -0400 Date: Tue, 8 Oct 2002 18:04:50 -0400 From: "Theodore Ts'o" To: Chuck Lever Cc: Linus Torvalds , Linux Kernel Mailing List , Linux NFS List Subject: Re: [PATCH] better RPC statistics Message-ID: <20021008220450.GC9807@think.thunk.org> Mail-Followup-To: Theodore Ts'o , Chuck Lever , Linus Torvalds , Linux Kernel Mailing List , Linux NFS List References: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline In-Reply-To: User-Agent: Mutt/1.3.28i Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org On Tue, Oct 08, 2002 at 03:20:07PM -0400, Chuck Lever wrote: > hi Linus- > > this is the only patch i have that probably should be in 2.5 before > October 20. the rest i will save until things calm down. > > this patch, against 2.5.41, adds some new statistics in the RPC layer. > these are similar to stats kept in reference client implementations, and > are designed to help sysadmins track down NFS client issues more quickly. > since this changes a "kernel interface" it should go in now.
