I'll try to give it a careful review in the next couple of days. I've added Jay Lan to the cc list. I encourage you to include him on your cc list in the future - thanks. He has expertise in some of SGI's earlier container-like efforts. > cpusets ... well documented > (particularly with regards to synchronization rules). thanks ; Question (perhaps already answered in your code - I haven't looked yet): can loadable kernel modules register containers? I'd like to see at least GPL modules be able to register containers, but I appreciate that this could be a controversial issue. Technically, I am guessing that some EXPORT_GPL_SYMPOL declarations on the necessary container registration routines would provide GPL modules with this capability. Guess I should read the code ... -- I won't rest till it's the best ... Programmer, Linux Scalability Paul Jackson 1.925.600.0401
