We'll run out soon. Let's preserve half of a flag by giving userspace the definition: #define MAP_FIXED_SAFE (MAP_FIXED | _MAP_NOT_HINT) then in here: if ((flags & _MAP_NOT_HINT) && !(flags & MAP_FIXED)) return -EINVAL; Now we can use _MAP_NOT_HINT all by itself in the future to mean something else. -- 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
