[PATCH 0/3] vdso/datastore: Allow prefaulting by mlockall()

Posted by Thomas Weißschuh 1 month, 3 weeks ago

Latency-sensitive applications expect not to experience any pagefaults
after calling mlockall(). However mlockall() ignores VM_PFNMAP and VM_IO
mappings, both of which are used by the generic vDSO datastore.
