Oh, if you like, here we go - but it would have been perfectly okay
for you to send it to him directly yourself. (And he's probably
been watching and already taken it anyway.) It seems to me that
it's sufficiently harmless that it could still be 2.6.16 material,
but let's leave Linus and Andrew to decide on that.

From: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst at mellanox.co.il>
Currently, copy-on-write may change the physical address of a page even if the
user requested that the page is pinned in memory (either by mlock or by
get_user_pages). This happens if the process forks meanwhile, and the parent
writes to that page. As a result, the page is orphaned: in case of
get_user_pages, the application will never see any data hardware DMAs into this
page after the COW. In case of mlock'd memory, the parent is not getting the
real-time/security benefits of mlock.
In particular, this affects the Infiniband modules which do DMA from and into
user pages all the time.
This patch adds madvise options to control whether memory range is inherited
across fork. Useful e.g. for when hardware is doing DMA from/into these pages.
Could also be useful to an application wanting to speed up its forks by cutting
large areas out of consideration.
