Again, my point is that what the kernel processes is basically semanticless. The kernel doesn't validate the DAX commands, it doesn't validate the parameters given to the commands, etc. It's a block box, accepting binary blobs, and passing them on as-is to the hypervisor. That's what I don't like about this interface. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe sparclinux" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
