Actually it's still a little bit special case, since readahead (and drop behind) is only done on a filedescriptor level and not on the VMA level. OTOH, I've heard rumours that Ben LaHaise is moving readahead to the VMA level. When that is done my drop-behind code will automagically work for mmap() and swap too... regards, Rik -- "What you're running that piece of shit Gnome?!?!" -- Miguel de Icaza, UKUUG 2000 http://www.conectiva.com/ http://www.surriel.com/ -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
