This could be porting DIPC to as-yet unsupported processors, adding features to increase its performance/security/availability/etc. or even using the code (or ideas) in other related projects. There can be different "flavours" of DIPC, with different trade-offs like using link libraries for DIPC's messages and semaphores. In this example, we are asking the programmer to use a link library but at the same time avoiding a (costly) round-trip in and out of the kernel. Consider it a test bed for further experiments (academical or commercial), and don't worry about my copyright notices in the code (but do acknowledge the roots! :-) Maybe there will be a DIPC II with much more goodies (and different trade-offs) -Kamran Karimi - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
