From 910e46da4b4e93d56ffea318c64afa41868d5e6d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sonic Zhang Date: Wed, 27 Sep 2006 01:50:17 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] Check if start address is in vma region in NOMMU function get_user_pages() In NOMMU arch, if run "cat /proc/self/mem", data from physical address 0 are read. This behavior is different from MMU arch. In IA32, message "cat: /proc/self/mem: Input/output error" is reported. This issue is rootcaused by not validate the start address in NOMMU function get_user_pages(). Following patch solves this issue.
