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,...

This is a contributed post from Mingming Cao, lead ext4 developer for the Oracle mainline Linux kernel team. I attended the second ext4 workshop hosted at the third day of Linux Collaboration Summit 2013. Participants included Google, RedHat,SuSE, Taobao, and Lustre. We had about 2-4 hours of good discussion aboutthe roadmap of ext4 for next year. Ext4 write stall issue A write Stall issue was reported by MM folks found during page claimtesting over ext4. There is lock...

I'd like to welcome everyone to this new blog, where I'll be discussing what's happening with the Oracle mainline Linux kernel development team. I'm James Morris, manager of the team. I report to Wim Coekaerts. I'm also the maintainer of the Linux kernel security subsystem, which I blog about separately here. The Oracle mainline Kernel team works as part of the Linux community to develop new features and maintain existing kernel code. Our work is contributed directly to...
