When you need to reclaim the page, you would have to identify all owners, rather than a single owner. THis converts the lookup fron an O(1) to an O(N) problem. Keeping a linked list of owners doesn't really help, either, since it introduces locking issues that will cause -current to blow chunks. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
