In-Reply-To: <20050411163342.GE26127@kalmia.hozed.org> (Troy Benjegerdes's message of "Mon, 11 Apr 2005 11:33:42 -0500")

No.

No, the kernel does get_user_pages(). So the pages that the HCA gets
will not be swapped or used for anything else. The only thing a
malicious userspace app can do is screw itself up.
