seriously speaking, I thought it could run into infinite loops, and
added checkpoints at many places inside the loop. Then I launched 4
mmap002 and saw the counters growing up to 256K iterations, but the
loop is always exited, even when the system seems frozen. I was about
to recompile my kernel to test with the same patch, keeping my traces.
more to come within a few hours, I think.
