Doing this in a loop will eat fd's and memory. seems like find_vma_prepare does not what insert_vm_struct expects when the whole addresspace is occupied. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
