I write: > Page faulting during Forbid()/Permit() might be acceptable, if the > page fault handler doesn't modify any standard system structures, just Damn, what was I thinking? To do disk I/O, you'd need to modify lots of system structures, and even possibly put up error requestors and the like. (Unix machines *die* during swap errors---never thought much about it before.) But the changes may well be minimal---it would be interesting to try. In the meantime, I think we all had better be damned careful about where and how we use Forbid()/Permit() and Enable()/Disable(). I really think this could be hacked up in a week, if someone was willing to spend the time. (You'd have to know the MMU somewhat.) -tom
