We built a modified Linux kernel that we called Redline that was utterly resilient to fork bombs, malloc bombs, and so on. No process could take down the system, much less unprivileged ones. I think some of the ideas we described back then would be worth adopting / adapting today (the code is of course hopelessly out of date: we published our paper on this at OSDI 2008). I'm unable to find a concurring or dissenting opinions on this. What kind of peer review has it received? Was it ever raised with upstream kernel developers? What were there responses? I wonder if the question of interactivity is just not a priority upstream still, as they see various competing user space solutions for this problem and that this suggests a generic solution is either not practical to incorporate into the kernel, or maybe it isn't desired? -- Chris Murphy _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
