Also I am interested in smth. like this - if for example I will write such a routines - can I submit them to Apple?

This is more a rhetorical question than anything else. There is no law preventing you from submitting it. So, yes you can.


If they will accept them will they appear in next OS release or at some fix level?

Honestly, whether they use your code or their code (that would assume it's not part of 10.5 already which I don't know and wouldn't be able to tell anyway):


- probability it will be part of Mac OS X 10.4.x (with x>=10): 0%

- probability it will be part of Mac OS X 10.5.0: 0.0000000000000001%

- probability it will be part of Mac OS X 10.5.x (with x>0): 10%

- probability it will be part of Mac OS X 10.6: 50%

- probability it will be included when we reach the 3rd millenium: 70%

So in the meantime, it's obvious you will need to add this improved version of mbuff_pullup to your kernel extension if you want to benefit from it.

N.B: with the exceptions of the first 2 probabilities, YMMV.
