And imo make it better. How about it is certainly less subtle because it doesn't report "sub-vmas". > if (last_addr) { > vma = find_vma(mm, last_addr - 1); > if (vma && vma->vm_start <= last_addr) > vma = m_next_vma(priv, vma); > if (vma) > return vma; > } we would still miss a VMA if the last one got shrunk/split but at least it would provide monotonic results. So definitely an improvement but I guess we really want to document that only full reads provide a consistent (at some moment in time) output. -- Michal Hocko SUSE Labs -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
