Hi!<br>
<br>
To that I see one solution, that has actually already been proposed in the PR:<br>
we make an external package (a la Wine gecko) that one can download during installation, or later through RAPPS.<br>
Then this package (possibly together with other heavy core ones?) could be hosted in some GitHub sub-repo or elsewhere...<br>
Closing the PR now would definitely not be the right solution.<br>
<br>
Best,<br>

I've been struggling with e.g. https://github.com/reactos/reactos/pull/276<br>
<br>
On the one hand, we definitely need official support for Chinese,<br>
Korean, and Japanese character sets.<br>
On the other hand, this must not bloat up ReactOS by default, and just<br>
dropping a 12 MB font into the repository definitely does.<br>
So what is the ideal solution? I don't even know myself.<br>
<br>
- I could leave the PR open and hope that the submitter addresses my<br>
comments and comes up with a better solution. That hasn't happened in<br>
the last months.<br>
<br>
- I could close the PR right away. That would give the submitter no<br>
chance to address my comments and may even look disrespectful. And the<br>
original problem tends to be forgotten.<br>
<br>
- I could close the PR and open a JIRA issue describing the problem.<br>
If we decide on that as a general rule, we would put another burden on<br>
every reviewer. Additionally, such general JIRA issues tend to rot in<br>
our database as well.<br>
<br>
I think we often have this situation where the submitted PR is wrong,<br>
but we don't know the right solution either, and therefore keep the PR<br>
open. If we can better deal with these cases, the number of open PRs may<br>
decrease significantly.<br>
<br>

Due to my family presence, I need to stop the Test KVM AHK bot during this week end.I have good news regarding CORE-14536 and sound in general.
"I'll be back." Kind regards, Sylvain Petreolle

Hello Sylvain,
Test KVM AHK is offline since
"about 1 day ago (2018-Apr-25 18:27:36)".
Thanks.
--
1) I thought certain MDL fast I/O routines can get called at DISPATCH_LEVEL
2) For perf reasons, causing a page-fault in the middle of a "fast I/O" is
probably a bad idea.
That being said -- these concerns seem silly since we are talking about the
"Null" driver which... is entirely PAGED_CODE and clearly neither #1 or #2
are actual issues.
In Windows, the fast I/o table is part of the DEVICE_OBJECT itself. Not
sure why our driver allocates a separate pool allocation to begin with.
Best regards,
Alex Ionescu
