Thanks for this information. Can the development attention grow for corresponding implementation details around the specifcation of efficient exception handling? https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/process/coding-style.rst?id=42f82040ee66db13525dc6f14b8559890b2f4c1c#n465 Regards, Markus
