While I was working on kern/113218, I realized it is a bigger problem than I originally thought: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=113218 Because fixing this PR breaks ABI, I had to make compat shims. But the question is which branch to break? Since we are very close to 7.0-RELEASE, the question became more complicated. A lot of people are asking me to fix this PR because it is much needed fix for large database installations, so I have to make a quick decision. :-( I think I have four options (with corresponding patches): - Option 1: HEAD. HEAD: http://people.freebsd.org/~jkim/shmmax8o.diff - Option 2: HEAD and RELENG_7. HEAD: http://people.freebsd.org/~jkim/shmmax8c2.diff RELENG_7: http://people.freebsd.org/~jkim/shmmax7s2.diff - Option 3: HEAD, RELENG_7, and RELENG_7_0. HEAD: http://people.freebsd.org/~jkim/shmmax8c.diff RELENG_7: http://people.freebsd.org/~jkim/shmmax7s.diff RELENG_7_0: http://people.freebsd.org/~jkim/shmmax70.diff - Option 4: Don't do anything ATM. Break it with ipc_perm later. FYI, fixing ipc_perm is a lot more complicated and very intrusive. What do I do now? Do I have any other options? Jung-uk KimReceived on Sat Jan 19 2008 - 07:08:30 UTC
