No additional patches. The problem already existed before we agreed on the change to the pagemap code to just include the page size in the values returned, and not doing any special huge page handling. I suspect the page walking code used by /proc/pid/pagemap is doing something nasty when it sees a huge page as it doesn't know how to handle it. -- %SYSTEM-F-ANARCHISM, The operating system has been overthrown -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
