:Hello All,
:
:This question is for Mattew, however I would appreciate feedback from any
:knowledgable person. Is there a plan to publish some sort of technical paper
:which describes and dwells into the details about complete overhaul of the VM
:subsystem once the work is finished, such paper you Matt did after reworking VM
:for the FBSD4.0 release?
:
:Thanks,

Well, certainly, once time permits, I will write papers on various
DragonFly mechanisms. The VM system is not something I intend to
rewrite again, though certainly some modifications will eventually be
required to make it more SMP friendly. I'm fairly satisfied with the
current VM infrastructure. The only thing I really want to add to it
is a device-layer copy-on-write feature to avoid read-fault-stall-on-write
issues.
