From a51171816826b074828fa96cb6ef60fc3b13631a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Martin Schwidefsky Date: Mon, 6 Jun 2005 13:35:54 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] broken fault_in_pages_readable call in generic_file_buffered_write() fault_in_pages_readable() is being passed an incorrect `end' address, which can result in writes accidentally faulting in pages which will not be affected by the write() call.
