It's not finished yet, and it needs to be tidied up, but is most of the way there. -ben -- "Thought is the essence of where you are now." fs/aio.c | 80 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++----- include/linux/mm_types.h | 5 ++ kernel/fork.c | 4 ++ 3 files changed, 81 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) diff --git a/fs/aio.c b/fs/aio.c index 7fe5bde..96665db 100644 --- a/fs/aio.c +++ b/fs/aio.c @@ -108,6 +108,8 @@ struct kioctx { } ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp;
