2.6.26-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Zachary Amsden commit de59985e3a623d4d5d6207f1777398ca0606ab1c upstream After investigating a JRE failure, I found this bug was introduced a long time ago, and had already managed to survive another bugfix which occurred on the same line. The result is a total failure of the JRE due to LDT selectors not working properly. This one took a long time to rear up because LDT usage is not very common, but the bug is quite serious. It got introduced along with another bug, already fixed, by 75b8bb3e56ca09a467fbbe5229bc68627f7445be Signed-off-by: Zachary Amsden Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Glauber de Oliveira Costa Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman --- arch/x86/kernel/vmi_32.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) --- a/arch/x86/kernel/vmi_32.c +++ b/arch/x86/kernel/vmi_32.c @@ -234,7 +234,7 @@ static void vmi_write_ldt_entry(struct d const void *desc) { u32 *ldt_entry = (u32 *)desc; - vmi_ops.write_idt_entry(dt, entry, ldt_entry[0], ldt_entry[1]); + vmi_ops.write_ldt_entry(dt, entry, ldt_entry[0], ldt_entry[1]); } static void vmi_load_sp0(struct tss_struct *tss, -- -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
