@petrillic all the TOCTOU-ridden VFS calls need to be completely incinerated and pthreads needs to go.
i have a proposal for syscalls that initiate a state machine to perform transactional modifications to a local fs chroot as well as persistent disk and that proposal is fully backwards-compatible.
oh and every process is always running in a chroot. virtual memory for i/o. tell your friends
@petrillic i was so FUCKING excited when i saw this https://www.pdl.cmu.edu/posix/ chris do you know any graduate programs that might actually want a student writing a kernel/filesystem for their thesis? it seems so rare
@petrillic start with POSIX file locking and I’ll be first in line.
