TLS has a similar issue: We would like to support TLS-protected network storage for the root filesystem. The user space agent that handles TLS handshakes would therefore need to reside in non-pageable memory to prevent a deadlock if a new handshake is needed to access the root's backing store. But then so would the certificate trust chain and any handshake configuration information. -- Chuck Lever
