Subject: [PATCH] set EXEC_PAGESIZE to PAGE_SIZE
Date: Tue, 11 May 2004 14:59:23 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20040511145923.GC23495@sgi.com> (raw)
The number of pages allocated for the gid_t * blocks[] array in the
group_info struct is calculated from EXEC_PAGESIZE. This is used when
the number of groups goes above 32. On ia64, this is currently
hard-coded at 65536, which results in only a 1/4 of the required pages
being allocated on a 16k page size kernel. A setgroups() call with a
gidsetsize of 65536 will end up tromping on memory. Patch below sets
EXEC_PAGESIZE to PAGE_SIZE.
