From badb8bb983e9cf5b7a872e0a4f6ebeac2b1ce133 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Martin Schwidefsky Date: Tue, 10 May 2011 17:13:43 +0200 Subject: [S390] fix alloc_pgste check in init_new_context Processes started with kernel_execve from a kernel thread will have current->mm==NULL. Reading current->mm->context.alloc_pgste will read a more or less random bit from lowcore in this case. If the bit turns out to be set the whole process tree started this way will allocate page table extensions although they have no need for it.
