I would hardly say that disabling a feature should be classified as "works". "works" would be re-writing packet/af_packet.c:packet_mmap() so it doesn't use vm_insert_page (which I think is the major/only problem) or putting some proper #ifdef MMU to get the intended functionality. David - I know you have been reworking the noMMU vma handling - is there a solution to vm_insert_page? -Robin - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
