 Hi,
 
 Hi, your patch looks good. what was actually happening was that thhe =
 content of the memory-mapped file wasn't sent for serialization  by the =
 malloc'ed buffer and so the cdbr fails with EINVAL and returned NULL. =
 (probably due to size of buffer). copying to make sure the contents of =
 the of the file are sent to kernel by buffer is the right thing to do. =
 looks fine to be committed and request pullup to 10 and 11 i guess.
 
 
 
 A scoffer seeks wisdom in vain, but knowledge is easy for a man of =
 understanding.
