Hi all, here are the patches for the nbd kernel module, with conflicts resolved. Compile-tested only (hence not CCed to lkml), help is welcome. :)I see you've got support for NBD_TIMEOUT in your patch set too. That might be better broken out.
It's just ioctl_cmd_to_ascii.
I get the feeling patch 3/4 is going not going to get applied. I should really fix nbd-client so it doesn't need this.
FWIW I've seen multiple reports of getting better performance _without_ NONROT, but I don't see anything particularly bad in that patch. Flags are just a hint, you can always ignore them.
Out of interest, what kernel(s) have you compile-tested these against? I'd quite like to get them into my standalone module tree (which is far far easier to test against).
