Is there any documentation that describes these methods and how they should work (i.e when should mmap() use remap_page_range and when is the vma->vm_ops->no_page function called) Any help appreciated. -- Steffen Persvold Systems Engineer Email : mailto:sp@scali.no Scali AS (http://www.scali.com) Tlf : (+47) 22 62 89 50 Olaf Helsets vei 6 Fax : (+47) 22 62 89 51 N-0621 Oslo, Norway
