I've just created a knem branch where I removed all the above, and some other stuff that are not necessary for normal users. So it just contains the region management code and two commands to copy between regions or between a region and some local iovecs. Commands are visible at (still uses ioctls since it doesn't matter while discussing the features): https://gforge.inria.fr/scm/viewvc.php/*checkout*/branches/kernel/driver/linux/knem_main.c?root=knem&content-type=text%2Fplain And the actual driver is at: https://gforge.inria.fr/scm/viewvc.php/*checkout*/branches/kernel/common/knem_io.h?root=knem&content-type=text%2Fplain Brice -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
