This is likely to be a libps problem. - -Improvements and new features ------------------------------ - -* There is a lot of dynamic memory allocation going on and it comes with a - cost in performance. We could try to limit such allocation, as long as it - keeps the inner interface simple and preserves the read/readdir semantics - (performance is probably not critical for a proc filesystem.) - One way would be to add an (optional) "needed_length" field to - procfs_node_ops, and arrange to pass a sufficent buffer in (*contents, - *contents_len) when get_contents is called. Then the user-provided buffer - might be used directly under some circumstances. - -* Add thread directories as [pid]/task/[n]. This shouldn't be too hard if we - use "process" nodes for threads, and provide an "exists" hook for the "task" - entry itself so that it's disabled in thread nodes. It might prove necessary - to have "optional" libps flags for some content generators, though, since - some of them might be missing for threads. - |
