Subject: [PATCH] Fix /proc/pid/pagemap end address calculation
Date: Sun, 5 Aug 2007 21:03:28 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <18102.33136.963233.867247@gargle.gargle.HOWL> (raw)
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.
Diffed against 2.6.23-rc1-mm2
