What are you trying to achieve here? You can't use these functions at run time (after the first thread has been spawned) to change permissions, because there will be multiple copies of the kernel section mappings, and those copies will not get updated. In any case, this change will probably break kexec and ftrace, as the running thread will no longer see the updated page tables. -- FTTC broadband for 0.8mile line: currently at 9.6Mbps down 400kbps up according to speedtest.net. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
