The code begins at `hurd/pfinet/ethernet.c`, `ethernet_open()`, the `device_open` call, which produces `edev->ether_port`. Basically, one needs to catch errors like EIEIO when using it, and in that case re-open the device. +See also the notes on [[hurd/translator/pfinet/implementation]], *Bugs*, *IRC, +freenode, #hurd, 2013-09-03*. * Add a futex kernel trap to GNU Mach. This can be useful for nicer locking primitives, including inter-process primitives. `vm_allocate` can be used as an example in the `gnumach` source tree for how to add a kernel trap.

This would be libnetfs-based. -* Write virtio drivers for KVM. Ideally they would be userland. That means getting documented about how virtio works, and implement it. The hurdish part is mostly about exposing the driver interface. The devnode translator can be used as a skeleton. +* Write [[virtio drivers for KVM|virtio#KVM]]. * Port valgrind. There is a whole [[GSoC proposal|community/gsoc/project_ideas/valgrind ]] about this, but the basic port could be small. * Use libz and libbz2 in libstore. See `hurd/libstore/unzip.c` etc., they should be replaced by mere calls to libraries, [[!GNU_Savannah_task 6990]] +See also the discussions on [[open_issues/exec]]. * Add `/proc/$pid/maps`. `vminfo` already has this kind of information, it's a matter of making procfs do the same.
