Subject: Resubmitting 1GB page shm patchkit
Date: Wed,  3 Oct 2012 15:24:22 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1349303063-12766-1-git-send-email-andi@firstfloor.org> (raw)

This patchkit allows to specify 1GB (and other) page sizes with
shmget(). This is useful for programs who are difficult to modify
to use mmap.

I got positive reviews last time I submitted this. I also get 
requests from various users who want it. So here's a resend with:

- Rebased to current mainline
- Retested
- Fixed a minor umount problem.

Please consider for merging.

-Andi
