Where does the _PAGE_USER come from? Shouldn't we see > the &init_mm in there and *not* set _PAGE_USER? That's because pgd_populate() uses _PAGE_TABLE and not _KERNPG_TABLE for reasons that are behind me. I did put this on my TODO list, but for later. (and yes, I tried clearing _PAGE_USER from init_mm's PGD, and no obvious breakages appeared, but I wanted to give it more thought later). -- Jiri Kosina SUSE Labs -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx.
