I'm still working on this. All the receiver lookup fixes I've done recently will enable us to switch to protected payloads with ease. The first program that I successfully patched to use protected payloads was mach-defpager. With 07e46eb2e25583f0f3e06342f0c854769b353b10 in place, converting it was straight forward: http://paste.debian.net/88451 The hurd-ci repository contains gnumach with protected payloads, mig with the patches I posted last November, and the patched mach-defpager. I'm using these packages on all my Hurd machines and I haven't encountered any problems. There are some loose ends I need to tie up in the kernel implementation, but it seems to work quite nicely already. I've uploaded the kernel documentation here: http://darnassus.sceen.net/~teythoon/mach-protected-payloads/Inter-Process-Communication.html The potential libpager deadlock I fixed last month (59b6c01edcd7013a112aeaf9d0bc33a8d2a2b8f1) was indeed the one I was looking for. With that gone, I was able to fix the receiver lookups in libpager. I merged that patch today. With that in place, I was finally able to boot a Hurd system with an ext2fs.static patched to use protected payloads :) > I see patches pending in my mbox, but AIUI they were meant for RFC > only?
