Hi everyone, I am trying to get more information regarding get_user_pages() function. I am specifically looking for examples of how-to use that function. I want to lock the pages of a specific user-space process. From one of our kernel-newbie members i came to know that we can use get_user_pages() to fault in all the pages of the processs and use mlockall() to lock the pages. I understand that get_user_pages is a kernel function and can be invoked through a system call made from the process whose pages i want locked. The process has root privileges and so should not cause probelms using mlockall. Any pointers to usage of get_user_pages will be really helpful.
