Although he added a quick fix, this patch supplies the proper fix and touches the affected architectures. Please review and Ack (or NACK with guidance) this patch. -- Steve A new utility function is used to determine if a passed in address is part of core kernel data or not. It may or may not return true for RO data, but this utility must work for RW data. Thus both _sdata and _edata must be defined and continuous, without .init sections that may later be freed and replaced by volatile memory (memory that can be freed). This utility function is used to determine if data is safe from ever being freed. Thus it should return true for all RW global data that is not in a module or has been allocated, or false otherwise.

Acked-by: Richard Henderson <rth@xxxxxxxxxxx> Although I suppose if we're supposedly standardizing on _sdata, the two uses of _data in arch/alpha/mm/ could be transitioned. r~ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-m68k" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
