ToDo List Kernel (2004.12.02 11:01:06)

We currently migrate to MediaWiki from our old installation, but not all content has been migrated yet. Take a look at the Wiki Team page for instructions how to help or browse through our new wiki at wiki.linux-vserver.org to find the information already migrated.

Stuff ToDo for the Kernel

• {020} reduce usage of current->*

current->xid replaced by vx_current_xid()

• {015} allow tagxid remount if already set

already done?

• {020} make VXCs required for CAPs

work in progress (mask capabilities)

• {015} add vroot device (or quota?)

first vroot patch done.

• {010} add vfsmount tagxid=xx

(tag)xid=<xid> mounts implemented, but untested

• {002} unwire uid hashes

maybe other hashes are more important

• {020} do some decent profiling
• {025} remove or fix openfd code and migration

openfd code fixed, thanks to Doener

• {010} CPU virtualization

sannes is updating it atm ...

• {015} alternate solution for closing_wait (HZ)

• {015} accounting and limits for IPC stuff

2.6.11 stuff:

skip_copy_pte_range (probably leaking?)

• {015} look into acct_update_integrals()

maybe move context accounting there?

The numbers before the items are related to the priority
