How do you pronounce illumos?

lactose: ih-loo-moes

or there-abouts

like illum-ination, no?

out of curiosity, has there been an influx of curiosity and possibly adoption of Illumos distros as a result of 0xide's endorsement of the project?

veg: As for me, I first heard about illumos from a friend that was trying to run Solaris; she eventually got fed up with it and switched to OpenIndiana

veg: We have always been here, but Oxide using illumos-as-hypervisor (a further evolution of the SmartOS philosophy, with full HW control to make some problems more manageable) has not hurt us for sure. :)

We're a pretty welcoming bunch, I hope.

pardon but who/what is oxide?

thanks!

i've never thought about this, but is there any issue with obtaining two different DMA handles to the same address with ddi_dma_addr_bind_handle() (assuming obviously caller is coordinating/arbitrating appropriately) ?

that's a big assumption

I want to say "Not at the moment", but I'm not certain, and I would want to talk to someone who knew the iommu architecture to know if it would be true if that worked

by "iommu architecture" I mean "of the platform, etc" not so much the rather worrying code we have, but don't use

I would probably put it under the could easily be problematic and better to avoid if you can.

yeah, that's what I was trying to say by "big assumption"

In particular, if you have DDI_DMA_PARTIAL it's definitely not safe at any speed.

You definitely can't get windows and other things.

It seems better to share the handle than to make two.

ptribble: thanks so much for all your manual labours

Thanks!

At some point I might get to fixing code.

Be afraid....

What if I want to be just slightly concerned?
