I am working on a similar issue, ie on a subsystem that allow a device to mirror a process address space (or part of it) using its own mmu and page table. While i am aiming at providing a generic API, it is not yet fully cook thus i think having a driver implement its own code in the meantime is something we have to live with. I am sharing the frustration of Sagi or Haggai on how hard it is to get any kind of review. I have not yet reviewed this code but it's nearing the top of on my todo list. Even thought i am not an authoritative figure in either mm or rdma. For anyone interested in taking a peak at HMM (subsystem i am working on to provide same functionality and more) : http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=140933942705466&w=4 Cheers, Jérôme > > - R. > -- > To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-rdma" in > the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org > More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
