Well, the answer is actually that
yes, you did miss my point. I'm actually arguing that it's bad design to attempt to arbitrate within a single shared user-space. you make the fast path slower and less maintainable. if you are really concerned about isolating many competing servers on a single piece of hardware, then run separate virtualized environments, each with its own user-space. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
