GRU will be as well (probably already does).
XPMEM requires more patches anyway. Note that in previous email you told me you weren't using it. I think GRU can work fine on 2.6.26 without mmu_notifier_unregister, like KVM too. You've simply to unpin the module count in ->release. The most important bit is that you've to do that anyway in case mmu_notifier_unregister fails (and it can fail because of vmalloc space shortage because somebody loaded some framebuffer driver or whatever). _______________________________________________ general mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openfabrics.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/general To unsubscribe, please visit http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general
