I believe these patches are ready to merge, but a final review would be useful. These patches should incorporate all of the feedback from the discussion when I posted an earlier version back in April (see http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/4/4/267 for the start of the thread). In particular, memory pinned for use by userspace is accounted for in current->mm->vm_locked and requests to pin memory are checked against RLIMIT_MEMLOCK. Thanks, Roland
