This patch fixes some obviously incorrect bitmask truncations in 2.4.20. On Fri, Dec 20, 2002 at 02:30:28AM -0800, William Lee Irwin III wrote: Linus, this is the 2.5.x version of the same patch originally by Bjorn
for 2.4.x. This fixes an entire class of critical 64-bit bugs.
Against 2.5.52-bk as of 2:25AM 20 Dec 2002. Please apply.
Actually, this looks like a non-issue from userspace on the IA64 boxen I can get to. akpm pointed out that this seemed to pass his testing, and on deeper inspection, IA64 userspace did not find this to be an issue. Bjorn, could you explain on what toolchains and/or architectures you had this issue? It sounds serious and/or real enough yet I can't actually make this happen myself. Thanks, Bill | ||||||||||
