Dan, Sorry I could not get back to you earlier. You are right, in that I am trusting the host! I am of the firm belief that in a virtualized environment, if you don'ttrustquoted
the host, there is not a whole lot you can do in a guest! I have had thisargumentsquoted
with other on this mailing list in the past. Having said that, I think we have spentmorequoted
time debating this than we should; your proposal is reasonable and I will goahead andquoted
re-spin those patches based on your comments. I should be posting themshortly.quoted
Regards,It's not about trusting the host or not trusting the host. It's about "if you're going to specify a limitter, it can't be off by one even if you don't expect to hit the limit". But thanks for redoing these.
Thank you, for taking the time to review. Regards, K. Y
