...nected. These things act together to create a situation where bugs are more likely in the core components, where it's harder to update a system without fully rebooting it. But there's hope. There are a number of efforts to produce a system to update the kernel without reboots (ksplice, kgraft, kpatch, and KernelCare). More developers are writing unit tests. Code analysis tools are improving. Both the number of bugs produced and the cost of fixing them are getting better over time, too. > We do not need plug-and-play; or usb hot-swapping; or hibernation; or > screen savers;...

...tra kernel thread. It helps to stop the growing number of them. Also there will be less thread-specific hacks all over the kernel code. It forces making the task selfcontained. There is no longer an unclear infinite loop. This helps to avoid problems with suspend. Also it will be very helpful for kGraft (kernel live patching). The conversion is pretty straightforward. The main change is that there is not longer an "infinite" loop in the balloon() handler. Instead, another work item has to be scheduled from fill_balloon() and leak_balloon() when they do not do all requested changes in a...
