Consider submitting to the Linux kernel

[ojeda]

Please consider submitting the module to the Linux kernel.

It can be a lot of work to clean up initially and can make iterating on it harder later on, but on the other hand it won't be broken due to changes in the internal API, it will be seen/used by more people and other people will likely maintain it if you decide not to at some point.

Thank you!

Are you sure that such a module is suitable for the Linux kernel?

Note that the module makes it possible to execute arbitrary code in kernel space.

Not all kernel modules/code are intended for normal usage, loaded by default and/or built in the usual production kernels shipped with distributions. This kind of feature could go into the Kernel hacking menu, for instance.

In any case, using it should be restricted to root, of course. :)
