As I told you on IRC, struct task_struct has no ->tty member.
If your custom/old/whatever kernel has, use grep to find out...

The block layers can be layered both ways. DM is the newer
infrastructure and was created in the early days of 2.6
If what I was writing could fit into a dm-target, that is what I would do.
There are significant projects like drbd and mdraid that are not
dm-targets, but I think their is a long term goal to incorporate
mdraid's functionality at a minimum into dm. I doubt drbd is ever
moved to dm. It is just too big of a project and in use in lots of
production server environments.

Hi Greg,
Thanks for the information. I have another question :).
Is there some less flexibility if we use device mapper target?
For example in block device driver you can use the api such that it won't
use the OS io scheduler, so the io comes directly to the block device
driver through the 'make_request' call. With the device mapper i don't
think that happens(looking at the api calls). Does this mean that stuff
like io scheduling. barrier control etc is done
by the device mapper itself and we can focus only on 'mapping' the io.
Regards,
Neha
