The following is a write-up by Oracle mainline Linux kernel engineer, Sowmini Varadhan, detailing her recent work on improving the performance of the Sunvnet driver on Linux for SPARC. Background In the typical device-driver, the Producer (I/O device) notifiesthe Consumer (device-driver) that data is available for consumptionby triggering a hardware interrupt at a fixed Interrupt Priority Level (IPL). In the purely interrupt-driven model, the Consumer then masks off any...

Oracle Linux kernel developer, Liu Bo, will be giving a presentation on BTRFS Integrity at the Korea Linux Forum on 11th Nov 2014. In VerifyFS in Btrfs Style, Liu Bo will discuss his current work on extending BTRFS to include integrity verification: There are different scenarios where we need to check whether we can trust an FS image that was handled by other untrusted parties, that means we need to have every part of the FS unchanged. Security is indeed important at any...

Recently, Chuck Lever and Shirley Ma of the Oracle Mainline Linux kernel team have been working with the community on bringing Linux NFS over RDMA (remote direct memory access) up to full production quality. At the 2014 OpenFabrics International Developer Workshop in March/April, they presented an overview of NFSoRDMA for Linux, outlining a rationale for investing resources in the project, as well as identifying what needs to be done to bring the implementation up to...

This is a contributed post from Darrick Wong, storage engineer on the Oracle mainline Linux kernel team. The following are my notes from LSF/MM 2014 and the ext4 summit, held last week in Napa Valley, CA. Discussed the draft DIX passthrough interface. Based on Zach Brown's suggestions last week, I rolled out a version of the patch with a statically defined io extensions struct, and Martin Petersen said he'd try porting some existing asmlib clients to use the new interface,...
