Why do you call mlock() and get_user_pages()? In our code, we only call mlock(), and the memory is pinned. We have a test case that fails if only get_user_pages() is called, but it passes if only mlock() is called. -- Timur Tabi Staff Software Engineer timur.tabi@ammasso.com - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||||
