Nope. ;) > the same applies to fdset, fdarray, ipc ids and iptables entries. The vmalloc area, along with all of those other structures _have_ other data structures. Now, it will take a wee bit more patching to directly tag those thing with explicit container pointers (or accounting references), but I would much prefer that, especially for the things that are larger than a page. I worry that this approach was used instead of patching all of the individual subsystems because this was easier to maintain as an out-of-tree patch, and it isn't necessarily the best approach. -- Dave ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
