Bug in default pager or GNUMach (?)

[Marco Gerards]

Hi,

There is a bug in the default pager or in GNUMach that makes tmpfs
unusable.

I have reproduced this problem with a small (and VERY ugly) test
program. This program creates a memory object using the default pager
interfaces and mmaps it. That works perfectly, but after unmapping and
mapping it again it crashes. The weird thing is that not only the test
program crashes but also the filesystem server I started it from!!

define IWANTTOCRASH to trigger this nice bug. :)

If it wasn't a thinking error of myself I will put this bug and test
program on savannah.

There is also another bug, default_pager_object_set_size in
mach-defpager does never return when called and makes tmpfs hang. I
will have a closer look at this later this week.

Thanks,
Marco
