[PATCH] parisc: Fix kernel crash with reversed copy_from_user()

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

 



The kernel module testcase (lib/test_user_copy.c) exhibited a kernel
crash on parisc if the parameters for copy_from_user were reversed
("illegal reversed copy_to_user" testcase).

Fix this potential crash by checking the fault handler if the faulting
address is in the exception table.
