This version of sg for the lk 2.5 series re-adds direct IO
support using work done by Kai Makisara (on st driver, posted 2002/7/29). Changelog: Changes since 3.5.26 (20020708) - re-add direct IO using Kai Makisara's work - re-tab to 8, start using C99-isms - simplify memory management Like Kai's patch, this one needs kernel/ksyms.c altered to export get_user_pages(). Kai's worker routines st_map_user_pages() and st_unmap_user_pages() are duplicated as is. Hopefully these routines will find a home in a library soon. The re-tabbing makes the patches rather large so here are 2 urls: This tarball contains sg.h and sg.c http://www.torque.net/sg/p/sg3527.tgz This gzipped patch is against lk 2.5.31 and touches kernel/ksyms.c as well http://www.torque.net/sg/p/sg_3527_lk2531.diff.gz Testing is ongoing, everything works apart from "zero copy" copy. That uses mmap-ed IO on the read side and direct IO on the write side. Not too many people would be using that I suspect. Doug Gilbert
