Not that I think it matters a lot. What Ray implemented is a very special cased hack for migration policies that only applies to shared libraries. Doing it generically is about the same amount of code and a lot cleaner. Note that I'm not against storing information in the file so that shared libraries get the proper treatment, but the proper place for that is an additional ELF header or magic section, similar to the noexec stack changes. -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
