Adding a few more fixmap slots wouldn't hurt anyone. But if you want an arbitrarily large number of them then no, we cannot do that. Taking more than one sleeping kmap at a time within the same process is deadlocky, btw. You can end up with N such tasks all holding one kmap and waiting for someone else to release one. Possibly one could arrange for the pages to not be in highmem at all. - 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/
