Abstract: A request to send a first message from a first component to a second component is received at an arbiter. The first component is located in a first time zone and the second component is located in a second time zone. The arbiter determines that the second component is located in the second time zone.

It is determined whether bandwidth is available on the one or more communications channels in the first direction. If bandwidth is available on the one or more communications channels in the first direction, a data path between the first component and the one or more communications channels in the first direction is created and the request is granted.

Abstract: The approaches described herein implement execution of a user space operation from a kernel context. A thread, executing on a computing device, initializes a second kernel stack based on a first kernel stack. The computing device executes an operating system having a user space and a kernel space. The thread, executing in kernel space, performs a non-blocking call (e.g., an upcall) to execute an upcall function in user space, such as filtering input/output (I/O) requests. The upcall function may further call other user space functions or system calls. The system calls are performed using the second kernel stack. Upon termination of the upcall function, the thread continues execution on the first kernel stack in kernel space. For example, the thread handles the filtered I/O commands.
