Specifically, the alignment work has been interesting in that we have tried to get not just the kernel bits but the entire stack to work properly. Both this and the discard work should still be quite topical if we can get the various storage vendors to evaluate our current upstream bits in time :-) ric ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread

I think I should have some good numbers and guidance come time for the workshop. I am also interested in discussing all things I/O scheduler.

I would like attend this year's LSF. I helped implement and coordinate the development of the I/O Topology support through the entire storage stack. My specific contribution was in DM and LVM2 but I also worked with Martin Petersen and the developers of the layers above the block layer (partition tools, filesystems, virtio+qemu). I'm now looking to implement comprehensive discard support for DM. There is a need for various discard support changes in the block layer (and below) so it'd be interesting if we touched on this. But my hope is that at least some patches will make their way upstream before LSF (for 2.6.36 inclusion) -- e.g.: hch's patches to push a discard's payload allocation down to the LLD (SCSI or ATA). I'll also be prepared to discuss aspects of DM if there is any interest.
