The patch titled Fix gate_vma.vm_flags has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was fix-gate_vmavm_flags.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: Fix gate_vma.vm_flags From: Roland McGrath <roland@xxxxxxxxxx> This patch fixes the initialization of gate_vma.vm_flags and gate_vma.vm_page_prot to reflect reality. This makes the "[vdso]" line in /proc/PID/maps correctly show r-xp instead of ---p, when gate_vma is used (CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO on i386).
