Imperfect isolation is always treated as a bug. As a kernel developer if you try to argue otherwise you'll get laughed out of the room and/or fired. Hopefully both.
- tscs37 9y agoI'm not saying imperfect isolation isn't a bug. Rather that bugs are inevitable and the proper responce to some bugs being exploited (maliciously or not) is to crash the kernel if there is no other option.
- lordnaikon 9y agoHardware can misbehave. If the kernel can detect that it is reasonable to shut down the machine and preventing data corruptions. I cannot think of a kernel developer who would laugh at that.
