The patch titled Subject: mm: relax ptrace mode in process_vm_readv(2) has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-relax-ptrace-mode-in-process_vm_readv2.patch This patch was dropped because it was nacked ------------------------------------------------------ From: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm: relax ptrace mode in process_vm_readv(2) It is more natural to check for read-from-memory permissions in case of process_vm_readv() as PTRACE_MODE_ATTACH is equivalent to write permissions.
