Subjectlocking pages in memory, mapping memory
I have two questions regarding memory managment:

1. I would like to map a buffer from user address space to kernel address
space, so that a user application can write data to this buffer
and the kernel than can read this data WITHOUT having to copy
it from user to kernel space (and vice versa)

2. I would like to lock these buffers (pages) in memory, so that they
can't get swapped.

I would be glad if anybody could provide infos or pointers to such,
how solve these problems.

Thanks a lot,

Olaf

P.S. I not subscribed to the mailing list right now.
