2.6.27-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: David S. Miller [ Upstream commit fcd26f7ae2ea5889134e8b3d60a42ce8b993c95f ] If we do a userspace access from kernel mode, and get a data access exception, we need to check the exception table just like a normal fault does. The spitfire DAX handler was doing this, but such logic was missing from the sun4v DAX code. Reported-by: Dennis Gilmore Signed-off-by: David S.
