Subject: [PATCH mm] stop c_p_a corrupting the pds
Date: Tue, 5 Feb 2008 22:27:21 +0000 (GMT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.64.0802052226140.11822@blonde.site> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <Pine.LNX.4.64.0802052218190.11822@blonde.site>
When change_page_attr splits a large page on x86_32 (without PAE), it is
currently corrupting every process's page directory: fix that by removing
the thinko which passes down a physical instead of a virtual address -
this version of the patch being the hotfix for 2.6.24-mm1.
