The fact that there are no in-tree modules that use init_mm is rather compelling evidence that it's not a necessary part of the kernel module API. Nvidia needs to fix their code. If this is a burden, perhaps they should publish their code under a GPLv2-compatible license so we can show them how to do it. -- Chris -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
