Summary: creating memory objects through the proxy defpager can fail Project: The GNU Hurd Submitted by: benasselstine Submitted on: Sat 06 Jun 2009 08:55:16 PM EDT Category: None Severity: 3 - Normal Priority: 5 - Normal Item Group: None Status: None Privacy: Public Assigned to: None Originator Name: Originator Email: Open/Closed: Open Discussion Lock: Any Reproducibility: None Size (loc): None Planned Release: None Effort: 0.00 Wiki-like text discussion box: _______________________________________________________ Details: When I create a sample program that uses the default_pager_object interface to create a new memory object it fails. I'm running the program as root. 1. open the /servers/default-pager file (this is running /hurd/proxy-defpager) 2. call default_pager_object_create, and try to make an object of 4k. The call fails with a server died message. This mail message shows a similar error: http://www.mail-archive.com/bug-hurd@gnu.org/msg14131.html Fixing this bug would help tmpfs run correctly. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?26751> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/
