Hi Linus
I just resend this patch (the first time I forgot to put the

Hi
After some rethought over the patch (and feedback from Linus)
I have made another version that should work also on SMP
Sparc.
As always, any comment/feedback/Bug reports/... are welcome.
Later, Juan.

It is not supposed that mincore can do that (yes, just now it is not

In previous mails I reported that test9-preX (X>=3) freezes

Hi
while I am running mmap002 in test9-pre4 I got the computer

only to pings. I have got the attached traces. The machine

I had no additional/local patches applied.

Hi
I was running mmap001 over NFS when I got one Oops, with the
following backtrace. The problem is that the page->mapping is
NULL, and it causes a NULL access at filemap_write_page.

I have found that we run botton handlers (in schedule()) when
