You can't use these functions at run time (after the first thread has been spawned) to change permissions, because there will be multiple copies of the kernel section mappings, and those copies will not get updated. In any case, this change will probably break kexec and ftrace, as the running thread will no longer see the updated page tables. -- FTTC broadband for 0.8mile line: currently at 9.6Mbps down 400kbps up according to speedtest.net. -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx.
