[zfs-discuss] how to measure in kernel how much time one operation takes

2008-04-18 Thread shri
what call to be used in kernel to measure time taken for a operation if time quantum i s smaller than tick(frequency). i tried using ddi_get_lbolt at time t1 and t2.(at time t1 operation started and t2 it finished) but it always gives me zero(t2-t1). This message posted from opensolaris.org

Correct. Of course the in-kernel CIFS stack will make it into the next "marketing release" (or whatever you want to call it, the thing that we think of as "Solaris 11.") It will be in the upcoming supported release of OpenSolaris. It will appear in other, supported distributions of OpenSolaris. B

The in-kernel CIFS stack is not in Solaris 10 Update 5, and will never appear in any Solaris 10 update, because the kernel changes required are too invasive. You need OpenSolaris. -- Fred On Apr 18, 2008, at 2:56 AM, Mertol Ozyoney wrote: > Hi ; > > Cant remember on top of my head. Do solaris l
