From b7fef2dd7217d9e3f35c948e87297451e55c9709 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Heiko Carstens Date: Thu, 21 Mar 2013 08:24:11 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] s390/uaccess: fix clear_user_pt() The page table walker variant of clear_user() is supposed to copy the contents of the empty zero page to user space. However since 238ec4ef "[S390] zero page cache synonyms" empty_zero_page is not anymore the page itself but contains the pointer to the empty zero pages. Therefore the page table walker variant of clear_user() copied the address of the first empty zero page and afterwards more or less random data to user space instead of clearing the given user space range.
