I suspect that that issue would no longer get detected with your patch, as the invalid memory access would simply not get detected. Now, I cannot prove that :) -- Thanks, David / dhildenb _______________________________________________ linux-arm-kernel mailing list linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-arm-kernel
