This doesn't mean they shouldn't. If you require code to be changed anyway let them change to something which doesn't require more cruft in the kernel. The limitations you cited are irrelevant for posix_spawn. And perhaps there will be actually spawn support in the kernel which would make dealing with OOM situations and non-overcommit much easier. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
