Since linux passes the offset with a 32-bit long, rather than a 64-bit off_t like we do, they need to do this in order to be able to map offsets larger than 4GB into a file. For linux_mmap2, I'd think we want to do roughly the same things as linux_mmap, but with bsd_args.pos = ctob((off_t)linux_args.pos) Drew To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-emulation" in the body of the message
