remap_file_pages.2
Andy Lutomirski [Christoph Hellwig, Andy Lutomirski]
remap_file_pages() has no benefit for real files

remap_file_pages to be emulated when used on real file.

BUGS: error events can be lost when reading from fanotify FD

BUGS: ephemeral port range exhaustion is diagnosed inconsistently
Different system calls use different 'errno' values to diagnose
exhaustion of the ephemeral port range.
sched.7
Michael Kerrisk
Document sched_rt_period_us and sched_rt_runtime_us /proc files
And rework and relocate the text on dealing with runaway
real-time processes.
