I would suggest we wait until after LPC to see what Christian's design is (given that, from what I've heard, it will help us solve more problems than just the kill(2) issue). I am very skeptical of adding new procfs files as an "intermediate solution" (procfs is the most obvious example of an interface which is effectively written in stone). Especially if this would conflict with the idea Christian will propose -- as he said, there were proposals to do this in the past and they didn't get anywhere because of lack of discussion and brainstorming before posting patches. --=20 Aleksa Sarai Senior Software Engineer (Containers) SUSE Linux GmbH --urpvdo46d6qtxa4g Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAABCAAdFiEEb6Gz4/mhjNy+aiz1Snvnv3Dem58FAlvZ54AACgkQSnvnv3De m5+fahAA0B0b0bhD/KuB/xokVIjR7z2eesm4mTyHpVWpP2gXKWi1xe3/7rgulUM1 vUKAGDnDbwW9ysxFv2E5c8UnI4vwn9lV0COYCq82Di+4xZ2nbvpK6VBNC8AsdhTL Cu3QDHrumfwMSxK5wb2Wyq/pa2pe2DyKokZZC7bgr5rBjIiSpcYjCyywg8rgtYTe 0rkLlC7S8UPD0B+LI3e5NDwz8ksWdmlRldKgO514WI8rEMs6E1c6/REN9q35b5K9 c7XGyDYNy/+719hc2K1LxC0yrJZ3KnmaLtWN7o+PWYV93XxNjZHxrRAWh9jpoYAK vo6q6AHOJAXP3z66qR2pbh7rPrrnoEneOfwTkSJILrFWecpgIlkd2Ov2g+/y1Oi9 zFEmaBi7bx9dbjdEnuExmcPBvnKrl7ddtnSyGutE4s+fHnXl+Vz+HQ4ohWb9qpcD VBIqHNTgdhx/SE0edMOrE/yBx+5nppl2TT69UtziBRY4mVlRGwum9EGWQrHb318R cu4Sls15kTeqaqbSOglyYC84bKrOqfHz3MBNG/PgcJ2rNNN4OBizlHz/UYf9yBx3 YdJgPLSSDxVtVdE3F4z5bnLHq/z+KNhaMHWmz3SYMHJBsy6gBhr0sYkfo0se4VLh 8WpOAfRIGwi0UQDDd2XmZ2MTOvJ0CJC3sBTtLa83VVLYwtBmggw= =TCYp -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --urpvdo46d6qtxa4g--
