I don't have parisc machines myself to test on; however if you could confirm that this workload does cause arch_get_unmapped_area() to be called with (flags & MAP_SHARED) set and (pgoff % 1024) != 0, I think this would be a good enough smoking gun to blame the bug on this. Regarding fixes: I'm going to try and send my vma gap finder patchset this week for possible integration into andrew's -mm tree. There will be one parisc patch in that set which will include the fix for this coloring issue. Of course, feel free to apply James's minimal fix before then; I am just sending this heads up as we're likely to end up with a conflict between both fixes in -next if we go that way :) -- Michel "Walken" Lespinasse A program is never fully debugged until the last user dies. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-parisc" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
