Subject: Re: Move to unshared VMAs in NOMMU mode?
Date: Mon, 19 Mar 2007 13:23:17 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <m1wt1dvxzu.fsf@ebiederm.dsl.xmission.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <12838.1173998825@redhat.com> (David Howells's message of "Thu, 15 Mar 2007 22:47:05 +0000")


I'm just trying to digest this a little.

As I understand your description for non-shared mappings the VMAs are
per process.

For shared mappings you share in some sense the page cache.

My gut feel says just keep a vma per process of the regions the
process has and do the appropriate book keeping and all will be fine.

For shm_nattach it looks like you simply are not calling the
open/close methods on fork (because you have a shared pool of vmas).
