I don't think this is right to have driver-specific code for this. It's an issue shared by many drivers, so ad-hoc solutions are the wrong way to go about it; see the recent threads about battery and hdaps monitoring. For now, just trust the user; there are so many other ways to DoS a Linux system isn't not even funny. (My latest example: turns out that an accidental fork loop with oprofile running means painful threashing death. And it effectively halted the rest of userspace, tp-fancontrol included, causing the fan to spin furiously in disengaged mode for half an hour before I pulled the plug.) > The TODO feature lists is: > 2.

I don't think the StGIT metadata will survive a push or fetch (but please do ask Catalin on git@vger). I think your options are: 1. Just push --force the tip of your StGIT stack, and tell people to use +ref. 2. Push the tip of your StGIT stack, using a new branch every time.This is essentially what's done with the -mm tree. 3. Linearly append patches, instead of fixing earlier ones. 4. Apply git on top of a quilt tree. Again, this is worth bringing up in git@vger. Shem |
