Network Stack Cloning Updates on FreeBSD

Posted by Hemos on from the multi-stack-joy dept.

Dan writes "Network stack cloning patches on FreeBSD allow for multiple fully independent network stacks to simultaneously coexist in a single FreeBSD kernel. Marko Zec has prepared a latest snapshot of the patches (against 4.8-RELEASE). The latest snapshot includes (a) internal restructuring - - struct vimage is now separated in resource-specific containers, and (b) Kernel message buffers - each vimage / vprocg now has a private kernel message buffer instance. Julian Elischer gave a talk on this subject at the USENIX Annual Technical Conference (FreeNIX track) in San Antonio, TX, June 2003. Marko's slides were presented at BSDCon Europe 2002 in Amsterdam."

    Trolling is an ancient artform, you my freind are a spammer. Learn the way of the troll and you can help others come to new realisations, elightening the world.

    The troll is outcast, he is forever the outsider commited to the outside. When the reality changes, so does the troll. In this sense a troll is like water, changing his position as the rock moves. You have yet to change your nappies.

    When someone is about to snap the troll pushes a little harder till he hears cracking, then stops. The victim of the trolling can then see the cracks, and has the spinal mobility to change form and evolve. If you push too hard you either make them snap or you make them dig into an immobile position to resist the trolling (which is the case when you spam them).

    I appreciate what you are trying to do, but you are giving trolling a bad name.

      Every cock-assed response to my trolls is the reason why I continue. You guys are entertaining!

      You fail to realise I am a *BSD troll, not a BSD fan-boy.

      Believe what you will about my motivations. But the fact you have no finesse stands, whatever my position.

      Give it a break. Reverse psychology doesn't work on me.

      Our trolling will continue.

      Your trolling is not trolling.

      You are a spammer, man. I pity you.

      Our trolling will continue.

      It's 'My' not 'Our', Kevin. Please, go ahead and just fuck off. It'll only be a matter of time until everyone here knows who you are.

      Not even the amazing Kreskin could predict how many cocks in the ass you'll recieve in prison once your former employers bring you up on theft charges, which everyone hopes and prays they will. You are a cancer on the world, and should just stop holding a grudge against all things BSD.

      Besides, since you began your spam-fest, BSD has seen an exponential rise in users and deployed machines. Maybe your spamming is like a good luck charm!

      Anyway, here's to ButtStingingDeath!

      In the meantime stop feeding the trolls. If you ignore them they'll get tired of trolling and move on

      Ya know, you'd think that.

      Yet the crapflooding has been going on in the BSD section of slashdot for quite a long time. If the Kevin theory is true, that would jive with the 2+ years of BSD crapflooding.

      I'm guessing ignoring isn't going to work.
      'Solutions':
      Slashdot users could stop submitting any BSD stories.
      Slashdot management could remove the BSD section
      Slashdot management could do something about the BSD crapflooding
      Slashdot users could take the BSD is dying crap and post it all over slashdot in the hope management of Slashdot would crack down on the BSD crapflooding.
      Slashdot users could post the BSD crapflooding on many other sites/mailing lists in the hope management of Slashdot would crack down by way of blowback.
      Slashdot users could post Linux is dying in the hope management of Slashdot would crack down on crapflooding in general.

    Naw, in fact I didn't know his name was Kevin until I read post #6926523. I am also unafraid of slander lawsuits - I doubt this prick has the intelligence to figure out who I am, and the gumption to act upon that information if indeed he found out.

    I'm just tired of the crapflooding.
