Then I guess if they call hard bindings a big pain, they won't be excited by the pain you offer them through your new soft binding syscalls. It's totally ok for qemu, which will just run 2 syscalls per vnode. But with your solution some apps will suffer from the same massive pain that they're currently suffering. This is why is still niche to me. -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx. For more info on Linux MM, see: http://www.linux-mm.org/ .
