I've been playing with Linux-AFS, and I'd like some people to play
with my results. I've been trying to do a few things. First, I've
tried to speed up AFS reads by removing one of the memcpy()s. I've
also tried to get AFS unloading to work better, but there is still
some kind of race condition in there, which I haven't figured out.
If you look in /mit/warlord/for_testers, you will find a bunch of
kernel modules that are each slightly different. The two modules that
I'd like you to compare are -7 and -8. In particular, if you can test
speed differences, reaction times, and even the spurious connection
timed out bug, that would be most helpful.
I'm not sure which module is going to be faster/more stable.
Theoretically -8 should be a little more stable but probably not quite
as responsive as -7. If you could verify this for me, I'd appreciate
it.
Thanks!
