There is no guarentee that holding a get on the file says anthing about the VMA. This needed to check that the file was some special kind of file that promised the VMA layout and file lifetime are connected. Also, cloning a VMA outside the mm world is just really bad. That would screw up many assumptions the drivers make. If it is all obsolete I say we hide it behind a default n config symbol and taint the kernel if anything uses it. Add a big comment above the follow_pfn to warn others away from this code. Jason
