| |
Hmmm ... I notice with interest two notification patches posted in the last few days to lkml:
Matthew Helsley's Process Events Connector (posted 28 Sep 2005) Erik Jacobson's pnotify (posted 3 Oct 2005)
I suspect Matthew and Erik will both instantly hate me for asking, but does it make sense to integrate these two?
If I understand these two proposals correctly:
Helsley adds hooks in fork, exec, id change, and exit, to pass events to userspace.
Jacobson adds hooks in fork, exec and exit, to pass events to kernel routines and loadable modules.
Perhaps, just brainstorming here, it would make sense for Halsley to register with pnotify instead of adding his own hooks in parallel. This presumes that pnotify is accepted into the kernel, and that pnotify adds the id change hook that Helsley requires.
