Well, we don't actually do that, since PAG's themselves have no resources (they're just a number).

Only due to phrasal ambiguity. gcpags garbage collects tokens for PAGs with no member processes. You can play semantic games and say that's not what he said, but it would be semantic games, not actual useful discussion:-P


OpenAFS does not care about the inverse operation of (a): given an
authentication context, find all of the subject processes which belong
thereto.

Nope. But in the current model, we do care about being able to tell whether a given context (PAG) is in use by any processes. I'd settle for notification when the last ref goes away.

If done right, sure. _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-devel
