On the other hand, if you i have only put in a few hours on the problem thus far, and plan to continue tonight by looking to the "hold atomic kmaps across generic_file_read" and "Forward port of get_user_pages() change from 2.4" patch by Andrew Morton . thats my best guess thus far. others might think differently (and they're probably right).
