I was very much surprised by the reactions I got after my OLS talk. Lots of people declared interest and even agreed with the approach and asked me to do further ahead with all this. For those who missed it, the paper and the slides are available on my home page: http://people.redhat.com/drepper/ As for the next steps I see a number of possible ways. The discussions can be held on the usual mailing lists (i.e., lkml and netdev) but due to the raw nature of the current proposal I would imagine that would be mainly perceived as noise. So the second proposal is the I can create an appropriate mailing list here. Alternatively possibly two lists, one for the event channel stuff and one for the DMA/AIO part since the two parts are very much unrelated. I'd appreciate input from those who feel responsible for these lists. I don't mind either way. If there is strong interest right now (let me know, don't pollute the list) I can create mailing lists now and then if necessary close them down and redirect traffic to lkml/netdev.
