The patch titled mm: recheck lock rlim after f_op->mmap() method has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is mm-recheck-lock-rlim-after-f_op-mmap-method.patch *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: mm: recheck lock rlim after f_op->mmap() method From: Hugh Dickins <hugh@xxxxxxxxxxx> mspec_mmap was setting VM_LOCKED (without adjusting locked_vm): don't do that, it serves no purpose in 2.6, other than to mess up the locked_vm accounting - mspec's pages won't get reclaimed anyway. Thanks to Dmitry Monakhov for raising the issue.
