Hi,
I'm a newbie of kernelnewbies, so please don't mind if my question is inappropriate.
I'm working on a user level library that makes intensive use of the kernel. Because my library doesn't give me the performances I expected, I'm using oprofile to understand what's happening in the kernel.
The symbol rw_vm is recurring and seems to be consuming lots of time. As I don't know what rw_vm does, and I can't find this symbol in the sources, I can't understand what's happening in the system.
Could someone explain me what rw_vm is ? And maybe tell me to what part of the kernel code it's related ?
My system runs a 2.6.9 kernel with smp enabled.
Thanks in advance,
Olivier
