Thomas, > My proposal is better because it does these tasks in user space.
Your other comments basically made sense, however, in the context of this statement, I have become extrememly confused. So, before I react to your other comments, I would like you to elaborate what you mean by this statement. Specifically, what about my proposal does not happen in user space? What I suggest (and what Ogi has basically implemented) are changes to libpager (in the form of adding pager_notify_eviction) and modifying ext2fs to only map active metadata. Nothing about this involves changes to the kernel; nothing I propose involves using undocumented features; everything I suggest functions within the Mach 3 framework.
