  • Bandwidth control for input/output channels
    Patent number: 11693799
    Abstract: Bandwidth control can be provided for input/output channels according to some aspects described herein. In one example, a system can detect an input/output (I/O) request transmitted by a software application. In response to detecting the I/O request, the system can determine a bandwidth group that corresponds to an I/O channel associated with the I/O request. The system can then determine whether bandwidth consumption of the bandwidth group exceeds a predefined bandwidth limit. If so, the system can execute a predefined policy assigned to the I/O channel for handling the I/O request.
    Type: Grant

  • Restricting application binary interfaces
    Patent number: 9424420
    Abstract: Systems and methods for restricting application binary interfaces. An example method may comprise: initializing, by a process spawned by a kernel of an operating system running on a computer system, a system call filter inhibiting at least one type of application binary interface (ABI) calls; receiving a system call issued by a user space program executed by the computer system; intercepting the system call by the system call filter; determining that the system call is disabled by the system call filter; and performing a pre-determined action with respect to the system call.
