SubjectRe: [PATCH 2.6.12.3] Deny chmod in /proc/<pid>/

I am on 2.6.13-rc3-git5 and I do not see such behavior:

08:16 spectre:/proc/21345 # chown 1337 smaps
08:16 spectre:/proc/21345 # l -n smaps
-r--r--r-- 1 25121 0 0 Aug 3 08:16 smaps
08:16 spectre:/proc/21345 #

That's true. Though, chmod /proc/21345 correctly yielded EPERM.

>Please send comments, corrections and suggestions.
