Subject: [BUGFIX PATCH -tip] x86: Fix fixmap page order in text_poke()
Date: Wed, 01 Jul 2009 17:02:46 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090701210246.22089.65697.stgit@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
Since the fixmap pages are assigned higher address to lower, text_poke()
has to use it with inverted order (FIX_TEXT_POKE1 to FIX_TEXT_POKE0).
