Perhaps I am using the interface wrong but I would still not expect it to break in this fashion. I tried 2.6.24-rc4-mm1, 2.6.24-rc5-mm1, 2.6.24-rc5 with just the maps4 patches applied and 2.6.23 with maps4 patches applied. Each time I get errors like this; [ 90.108315] BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at include/asm/uaccess_32.h:457 [ 90.211227] in_atomic():1, irqs_disabled():0 [ 90.262251] no locks held by showcontiguous/2814.
