Ack. I agree we need to start moving faster. I had a couple of distractions but I should be sending out some relevant patches in a bit. The more we can get out for review before kernel summit the better the conversation will be I suspect. > Eric, Kirill, Dave, Hubertus, > > In the spirit of 'faster, please', does someone care to port and > resubmit a pidspace patch? I think I can get that one. Except for the very tail end though most of my patches probably won't be directly pidspace patches. I'm going to work on killing sys_sysctl a little before I get to far into that. A pidspace is one of the most controversial patches so it is a bit tricky. > I'll do it if noone else wants to, just don't want to step on anyone's > toes if you were already working on it. If you want to help with the bare pid to struct pid conversion I don't have any outstanding patches, and getting that done kills some theoretical pid wrap around problems as well as laying the ground work for a simple pidspace implementation.
