Subject: [PATCH] DEV: zero: use correct pgprot for zeromapping
Date: Sat, 10 Feb 2007 11:15:21 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070210091521.GA7350@bitbox.mine.nu> (raw)
Instead of PAGE_COPY use the pgprot bits established already at
original mapping time of the VMA. This will also include any
architecture specific bits setup through protection_map.
zeromap_page_range will take care of COW'ing the passed pgprot.
This fixes at least one problem on ARM where reading /dev/zero
in one process created global PTE mappings thus - practically -
zeroing out memory ranges of all other processes.
