[PATCH] mm: Prevent mapping typed pages to userspace

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Pages which use page_type must never be mapped to userspace as it would
destroy their page type.  Add an explicit check for this instead of
assuming that kernel drivers always get this right.
