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 -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org. For more info on Linux MM, see: http://www.linux-mm.org/ .
