From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: mricon at kernel.org (Konstantin Ryabitsev) Date: Thu, 20 Apr 2017 16:30:24 +0000 Subject: RFC: pluggable snapshot compression tools Message-ID: Hello, all: Currently gzip, xz and bz2 commands are hardcoded into ui-snapshot.c, but it would be nice if we could define those commands, so that if I wanted to use "pigz" or "pixz" instead of the standard gzip/xz, I could do it. It would also be handy if snapshots were only generated for the formats defined in the config file (e.g. if I only list "tar.gz", return an error if someone requests a .tar.xz instead of helpfully generating it). Requesting a bunch of tar.xz snapshots of the Linux Kernel is a great way to DoS us with a single keystroke. ;) Best, -K -- Konstantin Ryabitsev Director, IT Infrastructure Security The Linux Foundation +1-971-258-2363 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
