Subject: [9fans] hacking issue: memory resizing

Message-ID: <20050909145216.4691A106B2F@dexter-peak.quanstro.net> (raw)

this is a pretty interesting problem. i'd bet that nobody
envisioned doing things like this back when this code was
written.
for a toehold on the problem, it looks like the cardbus
code (/sys/boot/pc/devpccard.c:828) and the functions
upamalloc() and upafree() in memory.c allow some kernel-level
dynamic memory. (although upafree() doesn't do anything.)
am i wrong in this? what can i do with memory on a pccard?
how scary is it to eject a pccard with configured memory?
(i guess those are the same question.)
