I think only GNU Mach should make use of the default pager. "tmpfs" should create and mantain its own pagers, just like other translators do.

Mmm, indeed, there's an issue: MACH_MSG_TYPE_MAKE_SEND means the msg
sender has a receive right, and makes a send right out of it, but here
the defpager proxy, by calling default_pager_object_create, only gets
a send right, so can't use MACH_MSG_TYPE_MAKE_SEND and could in that
case use MACH_MSG_TYPE_COPY_SEND (or rather MACH_MSG_TYPE_MOVE_SEND?)
to just pass the send right.

I'm wondering however: isn't that a common issue with proxies?  Isn't
there some better way?

I had a problem the first time I used proxy defpager.
I don't know if we have the same problem.
The attached patch might help. At least it solves my problem.

When I create a sample program that uses the default_pager_object interface to create a new memory object it fails.  I'm running the program as root.

1. open the /servers/default-pager file
(this is running /hurd/proxy-defpager)

2. call default_pager_object_create, and try to make an object of 4k.

The call fails with a server died message.

This mail message shows a similar error:

Fixing this bug would help tmpfs run correctly.
