Hmm, I got worried about the file->f_op->get_unmapped_area indirection. At least the get_unmapped_area_mem function in drivers/char/mem.c does not call the standard get_unmapped_area function again like ipc/shm.c does. As I see it is not guaranteed that the architecture version of arch_get_unmapped_area gets control. Want to play safe there. -- blue skies, Martin.
