That's not what MAP_PRIVATE means. MAP_PRIVATE is the opposite of MAP_SHARED. It's meaningless for anonymous memory (which is what ssh-agent etc would use) and for file-backed data it definitely allows swapping unless you use mlock(). - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
