From 556637cdabcd5918c7d4a1a2679b8f86fc81e891 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Weiner Date: Mon, 28 Apr 2008 02:11:47 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mm: fix possible off-by-one in walk_pte_range() After the loop in walk_pte_range() pte might point to the first address after the pmd it walks. The pte_unmap() is then applied to something bad. Spotted by Roel Kluin and Andreas Schwab.
