The fact that I think the hacks should be kept firmly inside the VM system, rather than spill out into the rest of the kernel is not something I count amongst my mistakes. I have actually spent quite some time looking at the code, both before and again tonight just because of your email. That is probably the best example of a review process which works. > Frankly, Poul, I strongly, *STRONGLY* recommend that you simply not > reply to any of my postings. This has been my general policy for a long time, but it gets overridden whenever you come up with something which is obviously wrong. (And I find the fact that so many people have adopted this policy disturbing, and sufficient grounds for me to relax my instance of it.) > Not a single one, because I am wholely > sick and tired of your superiority complex.

I have all rights I need to answer you when you send an email in public asking for a review. It is my obligation to answer you when I am one of the few people who are not intimidated by neither you nor the code in question and I can see that what you are proposing is plain wrong. So far you have one very experienced kernel programmer objecting to your patch, so yes: you will bloddy have to go through proper channels to resolve this issue. -- Poul-Henning Kamp FreeBSD coreteam member phk@FreeBSD.ORG "Real hackers run -current on their laptop."
