ToDo List Kernel (2004.12.04 10:02:01)

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

• {005} check tagxid on ro filesystems/mounts
• {025} make VXCs required for CAPs

work in progress (mask capabilities)

• {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
• {020} check inode xid assignment and iattr scope
• {010} CPU virtualization
• {020} vserver child reaper (initpid)
• {025} vc_wait_context() sync command

• {020} alternate solution for closing_wait (HZ)

maybe remove the entire patch?

• {020} 32bit syscall compat for x86_64 and friends
• {015} accounting and limits for IPC stuff

shm, msq and locks for now (not all enforced)

• {015} look into acct_update_integrals()

some kind of per context integrals maybe?

• {020} reduce stack usage in some functions like

vs_reboot (424!), vc_ctx_kill (148), vc_set_ipv4root (144),

vs_context_state (104)

• {020} separate token bucket per cpu

The numbers before the items are related to the priority
