That patch set does not implement transparent creation of 1GB mappings. It also contains dubious things like this, which make me think the branch was a WIP: https://github.com/Seb-LineRate/freebsd/commit/66a8d3474d41030d4da5bfa2042aa573ff1b281f https://github.com/Seb-LineRate/freebsd/commit/66a8d3474d410...
The only mailing list thread I see regarding this is here, and it doesn't seem particularly underhanded to me: https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-hackers/2014-November/046541.html https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-hackers/2014-Nov...
- kev009 9y agoAll the technical critique seems fair but it seemed like they (both as an individual and as a company) were a first time contributor and no outreach was really done to pull them in further. I guess LineRate imploded within F5 so there could have been structural problems inside there prevented them from doing a fully baked contribution anyway.
