Btw, I'm not merging this either. I think it's better done after we have flags in the fault info, and people can return "btw, I already locked the page for you" as a return value, rather than adding magic flags to "vma->vm_flags" to tell the caller how they will behave. So I guess this means that the whole series will be dropped now. Linus -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
