new one indeed, but heavily modified and extended by rik van riel,
author of the original vm. you can find his patch posted periodically to
the lkml mailing list under the heading 'rmap' [short for reverse
mapping - mapping from pages in memory to the process that owns them].
here's what his latest announcement said:

Subject: [PATCH *] rmap VM #11b
The second maintenance release of the 11th version of the reverse
mapping based VM is now available.
This is an attempt at making a more robust and flexible VM
subsystem, while cleaning up a lot of code at the same time.
The patch is available from:
http://surriel.com/patches/2.4/2.4.17-rmap-11b
and http://linuxvm.bkbits.net/

to me that would seem to point to bugs in your code, shlomi. as far as i
understnad, IP-Noise should have no business with the vm, only using its
exported interfaces. what exactly where the problems? [offlist if you'd
like].
