Subject: stop c_p_a corrupting the pds
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=8cb2a7c1e95e472b5ad8cbde4d5c7bb65c532603;p=GitHub%2Fmt8127%2Fandroid_kernel_alcatel_ttab.git

stop c_p_a corrupting the pds

When change_page_attr splits a large page on x86_32 (without PAE), it is
currently corrupting every process's page directory: fix that by removing
the thinko which passes down a physical instead of a virtual address.
