A method, system, and program are provided for managing a response to an email by a hidden email recipient. A hidden recipient manager detects a request to respond to an electronic communication by a hidden recipient of that electronic communication from among a plurality of recipients of the electronic communication. The hidden recipient detects whether the request to respond is addressed to at least one recipient other than a sender of the electronic communication. If the request to respond is addressed to at least one recipient other than a sender of the electronic communication, then the hidden recipient manager warns the hidden recipient that the request to respond is addressed to at least one recipient who is unaware of the recipient of the electronic communication by the hidden recipient.

In one embodiment, an operating system manages virtualized instances of hardware resources and migration enabled applications partitioned into one of multiple partitions with a separate operating system kernel running in each of the partitions. A migration event controller of the operating system manages the checkpoint and restart process during migration of a virtualized instance of at least one migration enabled application from a departure partition to an arrival partition. The migration event controller supports migration enabled applications to separately specify at least one application specific checkpoint script and restart script to be triggered by checkpoint and restart events by the migration event controller so the at least one migration enabled application can participate in performing the checkpoint and restart process for additional state information during migration of the virtualized instance from the departure partition to the arrival partition.

A method, computer program product, and data processing system for performing efficient communication between software entities residing in the same operating system using conventional network communications APIs are disclosed. According to a preferred embodiment, when a software entity (e.g., a process) attempts to communicate through a networking API, the operating system determines whether the other end of the communication refers to the same hardware node. If so, the operating system replaces the network protocol connection (socket connection) with a direct interprocess communication construct. The operating system provides additional code to simulate the appearance of an actual network (socket) connection at the API level while performing all actual I/O using the interprocess communication construct.

A system and method to manage device access in a software partition are provided. The illustrative embodiments provide a mechanism for exporting resources/devices from an administrator partition to a software partition in its purview. A trusted device list data structure is provided that identifies which devices are permitted to be exported into a software partition from an administrative partition. This trusted device list data structure also identifies which of the devices in the list of devices should be exported by default when exporting devices to a software partition, i.e. if no overrides are specified. In addition, a user-specifiable mechanism to override the entries in the trusted device list data structure is provided. For security purposes, this mechanism may not be used to export devices not listed in the trusted device list data structure. The mechanism may also be used to prevent the exporting of devices which are exported by default.

摘要:
In one embodiment a method for migrating a workload from one processing resource to a second processing resource of a computing platform is disclosed. The method can include a command to migrate a workload that is processing and the process can be interrupted and some memory processes can be frozen in response to the migration command. An index table can be created that identifies memory locations that determined where the process was when it is interrupted. Table data, pinned page data, and non-private process data can be sent to the second processing resource. Contained in this data can be restart type data. The second resource or target resource can utilize this data to restart the process without the requirement of bulk data transfers providing an efficient migration process. Other embodiments are also disclosed.
