Absolutely agree (at least in terms of the API for sys_restart() and sys_checkpoint(), not for inane other stuff like whether there is a CKPT_OBJ_RESTART_BLOCK). That is why 6 months ago we were trying to get to an agreement with Andrey Mirkin about a precise API that would definately suit both approaches (in-kernel and userspace task recreation at sys_restart). That way the basics could go upstream and the rest could get settled later as we see the fallout from either decision. -serge _______________________________________________ Containers mailing list Containers@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/containers
