[PATCH] fork support

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Here's a patch to linux kernel to enable fork() support for
infiniband uverbs (userspace i/o initiator).
Please Cc me with comments.

---

This patch adds PROT_DONTCOPY to mmap and mprotect, to set VM_DONTCOPY on vma.
This is needed for infiniband userspace i/o, where we need to protect against
  - the child process accessing the parent hardware page
  - the parent registered address (on which the driver did get_user_pages)
    getting remapped to another page by COW
One can imagine other uses, e.g. combined with mlock for real-time or security.
