:or do what Kirk wants to do and merge the VM and Vnode structures :I belive the UVM does a bit in this direction due to kirk's influence. : :julian
If this could result in a smaller overall structure, it may be worth it. To really make the combined structure smaller we would also have to pair-down the fields in both structures. For example, the vnode structure contains a lot of temporary clustering fields that could be removed entirely if clustering operations are done at the time of the actual I/O rather then before hand ( which leads to other problems related to low-memory deadlocks :-(... but assuming that could be fixed... ). -Matt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
