[PATCH 1/2] uio: add warning to documentation

2012-12-11 Thread Benedikt Spranger
The documentation has no clear statement to the POSIX 1003.1 mmap() feature, wich allows open(), mmap(), close() while the mmaped pointer is valid. The release() hook inveigled driver programmer to activate owermanagement functuonality in the release hook. This may harm. Signed-off-by: Benedikt
