Christoph, Alan, Neil, Attached you will find the patch with the sysctl implementation of my previous patch to enable grace period control from user-land. Please let me know if this looks good enough for inclusion in the kernel distribution or whether I still need to do something else. Note this piece is derived from net/sunrpc/sysctl.c, which by the way I think has a problem with the READ/WRITE verifys which seem to be swicthed which I fixed in lockd version but not there, you may want to take a look at net/sunrpc/sysctl.c and fix that although that's a minor thing. (See attached file: lockd-sysctl.patch) Regards, Juan |---------+----------------------------> | | Alan Cox | | | | | | | | | 09/05/02 11:37 AM| | | | |---------+----------------------------> >-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | | To: Juan Gomez/Almaden/IBM@IBMUS | | cc: | | Subject: Re: NFS lockd patch proposal for user-level control of the grace period | | | | | >-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| I was waiting for a version that used the sysctl /proc/sys interface instead. The concept of the interface is clearly fine
