Which for now only lives in the pnfs tree. So there was not much left outside of that. Also for final review is the osdblk stacking block driver which is ready for submission but is missing a supporting user-mode tool, and some more testing love. The list of patches: [PATCH 1/6] exofs: Fix bio leak in error handling path (sync read) A small and rare bug fix [PATCH 2/6] exofs: Remove IBM copyrights As requested by Original author and IBM folks. The code does not belong to IBM. (Never was) [PATCH 3/6] exofs: Avoid using file_fsync() This one is left like this. Since other options suggested are not good for exofs since it does not have a block-device and any of the BH stuff. [PATCH 4/6] MAINTAINERS: Add osd maintained files (F:) Use the new MAINTAINERS F: annotation for the OSD files [PATCH 5/6] osdblk: a Linux block device for OSD objects [PATCH 6/6] osdblk: Adjust queue limits to lower device's limits This is the proposed osdblk driver by Jeff Garzik. It as all the Kernel pre-requisites, but is missing a user-mode tool and more testing. So I'm not sure it will make it into this Kernel. But for review. Thanks Boaz
