[PATCH 1/8] mm: replace remap_file_pages() syscall with emulation

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



remap_file_pages(2) was invented to be able efficiently map parts of
huge file into limited 32-bit virtual address space such as in database
workloads.

Nonlinear mappings are pain to support and it seems there's no
legitimate use-cases nowadays since 64-bit systems are widely available.

Let's drop it and get rid of all these special-cased code.

The patch replaces the syscall with emulation which creates new VMA on
each remap.
