Date: Sat, 10 Feb 2007 11:15:21 +0200 From: Imre Deak <imre.deak@...idboot.com> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Cc: rmk@....linux.org.uk Subject: [PATCH] DEV: zero: use correct pgprot for zeromapping Instead of PAGE_COPY use the pgprot bits established already at original mapping time of the VMA. This will also include any architecture specific bits setup through protection_map. zeromap_page_range will take care of COW'ing the passed pgprot. This fixes at least one problem on ARM where reading /dev/zero in one process created global PTE mappings thus - practically - zeroing out memory ranges of all other processes.
