Subject: [PATCH] Fix sys_migrate_pages: Move all pages when invoked from root
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=511030bcd24119fa3759ef3f914d354e107ef839;p=GitHub%2Fexynos8895%2Fandroid_kernel_samsung_universal8895.git

[PATCH] Fix sys_migrate_pages: Move all pages when invoked from root

Currently sys_migrate_pages only moves pages belonging to a process.  This
is okay when invoked from a regular user.  But if invoked from root it
should move all pages as documented in the migrate_pages manpage.
