Hi, This project has been sleeping for a while, so I thought it was about time something happened. And now it has - I've put up version 0.0.2c of the CD-RW packet writing module, aka the "happy birthday grandma" release 8) A summary of some of the changes: - inc usage count of buffer heads - add internal buffer pool to avoid deadlock on oom - gather data for as many buffers as we have, before initiating write. this allows the laser to stay on longer, giving better performance. - fix always busy when tray can't be locked - remove request duplication nastiness, inject directly into the target - adapted to devfs and elevator changes - added proc interface Not a whole lot, this is just to get the ball rolling again. However, the addition of the internal buffer pool was something that should have been added a long time ago. So this release should be significantly more stable than 0.0.2b -- at least it is for me, your mileage may vary. The patch is against 2.4.0-test7 and can be found at: *.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/axboe/packet or http://sourceforge.net/projects/packet-cd/ -- * Jens Axboe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * SuSE Labs - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
