Well there are two ways I'd do this #1: Throw the whole thing away and accept its not a good idea anyway #2: If I was really going this way and I wanted to use it for serious tricks for high performance I/O then I'd provide the handle from userspace so that the strategy for allocation is controlled by the caller who is the only one who can make the smart decisions - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
