[PATCH] hv: Turn off write permission on the hypercall page

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

 



The hypercall page only needs to be executable but currently it is setup to
be writable as well. Fix the issue.

Backport of upstream commit 372b1e91343e to earlier kernels.
Tested on 4.9.
