PROFILE

Bharath Sm

Worked on kernel-level enhancements and reliability improvements across multiple repositories, including geerlingguy/linux, torvalds/linux, linux-riscv/linux, and Azure/AZNFS-mount. Delivered SMB client debugging and monitoring features in C, such as tracepoints for lease break notifications and visibility into negotiated encryption ciphers, while improving maintainability through code readability updates. Addressed file visibility bugs and introduced per-directory cache accounting, exposing metrics via /proc for better observability. In Azure/AZNFS-mount, implemented watchdog-driven cleanup for timed-out NFSv4 mounts, refining server guard logic to improve recovery and resilience in Kubernetes environments. Demonstrated expertise in C programming, kernel development, networking, and system administration.
