Subject: [RESEND][PATCH] mmap.c - do_mmap_pgoff() small correction
Date: Tue, 11 Feb 2003 10:41:36 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20030211094136.GG42@DervishD> (raw)

Hi Linus :)
This is a correction for a patch I sent you that you included in
the 2.5.x tree. The patch I sent you fixed a corner case for the
mmap() syscall, where the requested size was too big (namely, bigger
than SIZE_MAX-PAGE_SIZE). Unfortunately, the patch did a wrong
assumption that is not true in some archs where TASK_SIZE is the full
address space available, as sparc64. So, the patch didn't fix
anything on those archs :((
David S. Miller <davem@redhat.com> pointed this and made this new
patch that fixes the spot. Now it should work in all archs.
If you have any doubt, just tell. The patch is against 2.5.60,
please apply or the corner case won't be fixed on sparc64. Thanks a
lot :)
Raúl
