Do we truncate mmap() values to the nearest page so to not confuse the user? ;) Imagine a careful application setting and accounting for limits on a long-running system. Might its internal accounting get sufficiently misaligned from the kernel's after a while to cause a problem? Truncating values like that would appear reserve significantly less memory than desired over a long period of time. -- Dave - 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/
