From 56b88a3bf97a39d3f4f010509917b76a865a6dc8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Richard Weinberger Date: Sun, 9 Aug 2015 22:26:33 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] um: Fix kernel mode fault condition We have to exclude memory locations <= PAGE_SIZE from the condition and let the kernel mode fault path catch it. Otherwise a kernel NULL pointer exception will be reported as a kernel user space access.
