Subject: [PATCH 14/15] KVM: Allow kernel to select size of mmap() buffer
Date: Sun, 11 Mar 2007 15:53:26 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1173621208447-git-send-email-avi@qumranet.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <11736212072915-git-send-email-avi@qumranet.com>

This allows us to store offsets in the kernel/user kvm_run area, and be
sure that userspace has them mapped.  As offsets can be outside the
kvm_run struct, userspace has no way of knowing how much to mmap.
