Forthcoming patches will dual-purpose an object's permission bitfield as also reference tracking for kernel objects, used to handle automatic freeing of resources. We do not want to allow user thread A to revoke thread B's access to some object O if B is in the middle of an API call using O. However we do want to allow threads to revoke their own access to an object, so introduce a new API and syscall for that. Signed-off-by: Andrew Boie <andrew.p.boie@intel.com> |
