This has the benefit that will also fix the tlb issues, but if we go this way if a sles/rhel user takes the next kvm release, all ram will be pinned and it won't swap anything for him, like with my patch that added VM_LOCKED. Said that swap wasn't a reliable feature before so nobody should have depended on that. If we really go this memslot-wide-pinning way I could submit to rhel and sles a mmu notifier backport so the rhel/sles users won't have to wait to get their kernel upgraded to 2.6.27 to get full kvm-paging. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
