vmsplice complains bad address

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

 



Hi, Jens

When I tested vmsplice syscall, it always complains bad address, I don't
understand why, does vmsplice have a special reqiurement for address
alignment?

The following file is a test program which is extracted from your patch
and modified in order to adapt to the latest interface. its output is:

getpagesize = 4096
page size: 4096 bytes
vmsplice: Bad address
here: len = 4096, written = -1
