Hey guys, the future of this patch is important for me. What do you think, has this patch any chances to be committed to upstream?

There isn't that much that is duplicated - and there are also bits of
the /proc/PID/mem code that are not needed in this case, so I'm not

I did submit a patch a few months ago - see:

<http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=117862109623007&w=2>



Looks reasonable to me, except for the one overlong line.


OK, here is the patch (without the long line) against 2.6.23-rc5 - what else needs to be done to get it committed?
