Yup, that's true. We'd effectively shift the burden of freeing those buffers into the cr_write() (or whatever we call it) function. But, I'm just thinking about the sys_checkpoint() side. I need to go look at the restart code too. -- Dave _______________________________________________ Containers mailing list contain...@lists.linux-foundation.org https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/containers _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@openvz.org https://openvz.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
