Subject: get_user_pages() and process termination
Date: Tue, 31 May 2005 14:15:27 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <429CB7CF.2000200@ammasso.com> (raw)

If I call get_user_pages() on some pages owned by a process, and then the process exits, 
are the pages still pinned, or is there some kind of automatic cleanup?
