Re: User-Space Device Drivers
:
:Emiel and Matt,
:
:I understand what each of you are saying. I understand that this work
:may or may not be used in the end, but it's a good thesis project and
:one I will complete to the best of my ability. It may also prove to
:perform better than some people think it will, causing some to
:reconsider approaching driver development in user-space; on the other
:hand, it may prove that this approach still isn't useful for certain
:things such as drivers that need direct access to hardware.
The work would definitely be used. I would use it to port ZFS!
:Matt, I may have some questions for you regarding DFly soon. If I can't
:find the answers in the source or docs, perhaps I could hit the news
:list with them and get some feedback from you?
:
:Thanks much, friends!
Certainly. If you intend to put a lot of time into this, and
it sounds like you do, then you and I should discuss the API
so it can be made something that can exist permanently as part
of the DragonFly system.
