Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi, I realized that I've got some patches backlogged for the pipe code in -stable. It fixes certain out of memory panics (but only when PIPE_NODIRECT is set). I'd really like to MFC my fixes however I've got a flight to NYC in a couple of hours and my access to -stable will be limited for the next week. So... anyone want to give: http://people.freebsd.org/~alfred/sys_pipe.c a test drive under -stable and possibly commit it? It really ought to go in if it's correct, obviously it could use some review as well. thanks, -- -Alfred Perlstein [alfred@freebsd.org] Instead of asking why a piece of software is using "1970s technology," start asking why software is ignoring 30 years of accumulated wisdom.
