Currently when mmaped files are removed I have not found a single instance in the kernel where we handle it correctly. Frequently after a hot remove we will either leak a file (with weird ensuing consequences) or we will goof and not call vm_ops->close() which can cause leaks. It turns out this problem isn't too bad to actually fix and this patchset is my generic solution. Tested against 2.6.31-rc8 with a process that mmaped /sys/*/*/resource0 and /proc/bus/pci/*/*. I'm not certain what the best way to carry these patches is to get them merged. Andrew can you carry this patchset?
