Hi Andrew, I've been resurrecting lately remap_file_pages protection support for UML.
I've updated it to 2.6.20 and it passes its unit test, and the resulting kernel has no stability problems in my experience on my Dual Core laptop (I've been using it for long time). Since last time I sent it, I've fixed remaining problems and TODOs, and cleaned up the split (I'm just improving the way patches are split). Now it is a patchset with 13 patches, and the diffstat is attached. Now I'm curious about when I should or could better send those patches - i.e. when they bring less noise into the -mm tree? This would allow me to snapshot the git and/or -mm tree, test the patches against that kernel with my unit testing program, and only then send these patches to get them at least included into -mm. Any suggestion? Obviously if you want to see the code first, in the standard way, I'll follow usual practice - just tell it me (and I'll send it shortly anyway, if I get no answer).
