From d129f31236c241c07e583e8bc695c382365d02ce Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso Date: Sat, 10 Sep 2005 19:44:57 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] uml: fix fault handler on write The UML fault handler was recently changed to enforce PROT_NONE protections, by requiring VM_READ or VM_EXEC on VMA's. However, by mistake, things were changed such that VM_READ is always checked, also on write faults; so a VMA mapped with only PROT_WRITE is not readable (unless it's prefaulted with MAP_POPULATE or with a write), which is different from i386. Discovered while testing remap_file_pages protection support.
