Andrew, would the following changelog be enough? The commit 7b540d0646ce122f0ba4520412be91e530719742 switched proc_map_files_readdir to use @f_mode directly instead of grabbing @file reference, but same time the test for @vm_file presence was lost leading to nil dereference. The patch brings the test back. The all proc_map_files feature is CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE wrapped (which is set to 'n' by default) so the bug doesn't affect regular kernels. The regression is 3.7-rc1 only as far as I can tell. -- 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/
