Re: [RFC PATCH v2 5/5] mm, shmem: Show location of non-resident shmem pages in smaps

Hi Jerome,

Not sure I understand this patch correctly, will try to read it later.
But a couple of nits/questions anyway,

But how can we know that it is not mapped by another process?

And in fact "not mapped" looks confusing (at least to me). IIUC it is actually
mapped even by this process, just it never tried to fault these (resident or
swapped) pages in. Right?

static?

It seems that shmem_locate() and shmem_vma() are only defined if CONFIG_SHMEM,
probably this series needs more ifdef's.

And I am not sure why we ignore SHMEM_SWAPCACHE...
