Stop right there. We found out about two real life users of remap_file_pages() already, without even committing the patches to warn about using it to any tree. I think at this point the whole idea of removing the API should be dead on the floor, as we do not needlessly break userspace programs. If we can get rid of the ugly guts and provide a good enough emulation that the user won't cry I'd love to get rid of this cruft, but even that doesn't look certain yet. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
