From aa715284b4d28cabde6c25c568d769a6be712bc8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Gleixner Date: Thu, 25 Jun 2009 14:27:58 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] futex: request only one page from get_user_pages() Yanmin noticed that fault_in_user_writeable() requests 4 pages instead of one. That's the result of blindly trusting Linus' proposal :) I even looked up the prototype to verify the correctness: the argument in question is confusingly enough named "len" while in reality it means number of pages.
