Thanks Dan. If I pulled this into a branch and built you some test kernels to play with, any idea how long it might take to get a proof of concept working on the cri-o side? FWIW, I've also reached out to some of the LXC folks I know to get their take on the API. I think if we can get two different container runtimes to give the API a thumbs-up then I think we are in good shape with respect to the userspace interface. I just finished looking over the last of the pending audit kernel patches that were queued waiting for the merge window to open so this is next on my list to look at. I plan to start doing that tonight/tomorrow, and as long as the changes between v5/v6 are not that big, it shouldn't take too long. -- paul moore www.paul-moore.com
