> Can we please stop running network drivers and network stacks in kernel mode by default? No. I want the kernel to have as much functionality as possible. I have some zero dependency freestanding software that I boot Linux directly into. I really don't want to have to maintain additional user space in the form of C libraries. If I need to manage wifi connections, I should be able to make some system calls and be done with it without having to link to anything else. Anything related to hardware belongs in the kernel so that all software can access it via Linux's amazing language agnostic system interface. If there are security problems, then that process should be improved without screwing up the interface by replacing it with user space C libraries. We have enough of that in the graphics stack. |
