[patch 100/159] riscv/vdso: don't clear PG_reserved

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

 



From: David Hildenbrand <david@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: riscv/vdso: don't clear PG_reserved

The VDSO is part of the kernel image and therefore the struct pages are
marked as reserved during boot.

As we install a special mapping, the actual struct pages will never be
exposed to MM via the page tables.  We can therefore leave the pages
marked as reserved.
