Yes I'm aware of this facility, thank you. > and the vm infrastructure will do the rest for you. Since this mapping is on the main path of the driver, I'm worried that the overhead on each access of a page fault and a function call (the pager associated with a cdev mmap) is too much to bear. So I'd like to do it the "hard" way which I feel is the most optimized.
