If not, why are you asking here? > :) Well, our primary concern is getting our stuff to work. Since get_user_pages() doesn't work, but mlock() does, that's what we use. I don't know how to fix get_user_pages(), and I don't have the time right now to figure it out. I know that technically mlock() is not the right way to do it, and so we're not going to be submitting our code for the mainline until get_user_pages() works and our code uses it instead of mlock(). - 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/
