after i reviewed this work with zach last summer, he and i also agreed that it would be best if i did this work after the generic changes are integrated -- so he wouldn't have to work on, and possibly break, the NFS client.
i have been watching the multi-segment iovec work since then, and fully intended to add the support for readv/writev aio in the NFS direct path when the generic support becomes available. begin:vcard fn:Chuck Lever n:Lever;Charles org:Network Appliance, Incorporated;Open Source NFS Client Development adr:535 West William Street, Suite 3100;;Center for Information Technology Integration;Ann Arbor;MI;48103-4943;USA email;internet:cel@citi.umich.edu title:Member of Technical Staff tel;work:+1 734 763-4415 tel;fax:+1 734 763 4434 tel;home:+1 734 668-1089 x-mozilla-html:FALSE url:http://troy.citi.umich.edu/u/cel/ version:2.1 end:vcard
