Hi,
In, vl.c at around line 2480, we see this comment:
/* as we must map the same page at several addresses, we must use
a fd */
and then go futzing around in /tmp
Seems to me like we could simply map /dev/zero with MAP_PRIVATE, that
way we:
o Don't generate disk I/O's when using memory
o Don't take up a node in temp
o Don't take up diskspace on filesystems which can't create sparse
files
o Still allow mapping same page at several addresses
Would a patch to fix this be accepted? Or is my (very cursory) analysis
incorrect?
