Date: Sun, 5 Aug 2007 21:03:28 -0500 From: boutcher@...umn.edu (Dave Boutcher) To: Matt Mackall <mpm@...enic.com> CC: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: [PATCH] Fix /proc/pid/pagemap end address calculation When dumping vma information the pagemap_read routine calculates the minimum of what the user asks for and the end of the vma. Unfortunately the code uses vma->vm_start rather than vma->vm_end which can result in the end address being before the start, and a nasty never-ending loop in the kernel.
