my VM TODO list

my VM TODO list

[William Lee Irwin III]

-------

(1) hugetlbfs
	written, needs to return -EINVAL higher up instead of BUG_ON()
	lower down, and make shm bits DTRT.

(2) pagetable reclaim
	Figured out where the pmd weirdness happens and restarted
	lookups, need to find a spot to go blow them away, when
	to do it, and maybe do something about private anonymous.

(3) help out with pagetable sharing
	Not sure what's going on there.

-----
long-since vetoed/hated/whatever wishlist items omitted

Wishlist:
--------
(1) x86 page clustering
	Pretending 1 << order pte's are a single pte is easy.
	IA64 appears to have subpage mmapping code to cherry pick
	for 4KB compatibility, possibly omit it if it's a problem.

I'm willing to help out with both of these.   Is there any current
code around I could take a look at and work from ?
