| |
HELLO:!
The following patch will make the /dev/kmem and /dev/mem work again! If unsure:
Just try out the ksyms app from the modules-2.1.13 suite before and after. Or look at the last line of the same procedure to which the patch applies. There is exactly the complementary __va(p).
It applies to the whole series of 2.1.x kernels.
Please include it into the next official patch-release.
Many thank's in advance:
Marcin
PS.: kurwa ma"c, took it long to find this one liner!
