Michael Kerrisk 293283613f mmap.2: srcfix: spfix 2008-12-05 22:28:55 -05:00
Michael Kerrisk 6aa7db0a8f mmap.2: Loosen language around how 'addr' hint is interpreted 
Mel Gorman reported that in Linux 2.6.27, 'addr' is rounded
down to a page boundary.

Before kernel 2.6.26, if 'addr' was taken as a hint, it was
rounded up to the next page boundary.  Since Linux 2.6.24,
it is rounded down.  Therefore, loosen the description of
this point to say that the address is rounded to "a nearby
page boundary".

Michael Kerrisk f38fa944aa MAP_POPULATE supports both file and anonymous mappings. 
Since 2.6.23, MAP_POPULATE supports private mappings.
Since 2.6.23, MAP_NONBLOCK causes MAP_POPULATE to be a no-op.

Michael Kerrisk 009df872f7 Format casts so that there is a non-breaking space after the 
type, and remove unnecessary parentheses around the casted value.
Thus, for example, the following:

     .IR "(size_t) (\-1)" .

becomes:
    .IR "(size_t)\ \-1" .
