Hello Tony,
RSE backing store.
Can you tell me where I can find more information about this?

My application is similar to unexec of emacs, tries to save all the segments in the map file and restore them back, while restoring currently we assume that if the segment is above sbrk(0) then it needs to be mmap'ed from the save file else override it. Looks like If I dont overwrite the RSE backing store fclose on my open files seem to crash when I restore my program. - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-ia64" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
