[patch 4/6] Dont check for pfn_valid() in uaccess_pt.c

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

 



From: Gerald Schaefer <gerald.schaefer@xxxxxxxxxx>

pfn_valid() actually checks for a valid struct page and not for a
valid pfn. Using xip mappings w/o struct pages, this will result in
-EFAULT returned by the (page table walk) user copy functions,
even though there is valid memory. Those user copy functions don't
need a struct page, so this patch just removes the pfn_valid() check.
