Hi, I had noticed that the mmapping facilities of /proc/(pid)/mem have been removed in recent devel kernels as well as in the 2.4 test series. I assume that since it is missing in the test series, that it is to be missing in 2.4.0 final as well. I poked around on the list archives and found mention of its demise, but couldn't find any indication as to if it was a permanent removal or if it was just temporary while issues were sorted out, or to alternatives to use for the same functionality. Is there another way to get access to another process's memory space in bulk? I need to do a full search on an arbitrary process's memory space. I've been using ptrace(PTRACE_PEEKDATA, ..) in the absense of the ability to mmap the process's memory but doing so takes a few million system calls per search which is prohibitively expensive. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
