https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=230460 --- Comment #21 from Vladimir Kondratyev <wulf@freebsd.org> --- (In reply to Konstantin Belousov from comment #20) > 1. Why vbox needs to access userspace > 2. If the item 1 is legitimate, why doesn't vbox use copyin(9) KPI. I don't know. I can only guess it is to reduce amount of system-dependent code. Really, vbox kmod is very strange thing. After a few hours of digging I got an impression that it is not a kernel part of VBox but is a loader that loads into kernel memory and initializes RING0 parts of emulator on each? VM start. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.help
