That's a bit more clear. ;) OK, just so I make sure I'm getting your argument here. It would be too expensive to go looking through all of the rmap data for _any_ other task that might be sharing the charge (in the same container) with the current task that is doing the unmapping. The requirements you're presenting so far appear to be: 1. The first user of a page in a container must be charged 2. The second user of a page in a container must not be charged 3. A container using a page must take a diminished charge when another container is already using the page. 4. Additional fields in data structures (including 'struct page') are permitted What have I missed? What are your requirements for performance? I'm not quite sure how the page->container stuff fits in here, though. page->container would appear to be strictly assigning one page to one container, but I know that beancounters can do partial page charges.
