As far as I can see the current model fundamentally only works for one user per process (because there is only a single range and abort IP) So once malloc started using it noone else could. Since malloc is the primary user it would be pointless to ever try it on something else. It seems fixing that would complicate everything quite a bit -- all ranges would need to be (unlimited?) arrays. -Andi -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-api" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
