I tried to look at the example programs before and failed. I tried again. Where can I find up-to-date example code? Some other points: - I really would prefer not to rush all this into the upstream kernel. The main problem is that the ring buffer interface is a shared data structure. These are always tricky. We need to find the right combination between size (as small as possible) and supporting all the interfaces. - so far only the timer and aio notification is speced out. What about the rest? Are we sure all aspects can be expressed? I am not yet. - we need an interface to add an event from userlevel. I.e., we need to be able to synthesize events. There are events (like, for instance the async DNS functionality) which come from userlevel code. I would very much prefer we look at the other events before setting the data structures in stone. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
