Subject: [PATCH/user_cr] pass a valid stack address to clone_with_pids
Date: Tue, 01 Sep 2009 18:14:17 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1251846857.23305.5.camel@localhost.localdomain> (raw)

Off-by-one error: the stack address passed to clone/clone_with_pids
must be within the region allocated.  (Also, arithmetic on void * is a
gcc extension; change the relevant variables to char *).
