From 70d7f98722a7a1df1a55d6a92d0ce959c7aba9fd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Fri, 8 Nov 2013 16:35:55 +0100 Subject: uprobes: Fix the wrong usage of current->utask in uprobe_copy_process() Commit aa59c53fd459 "uprobes: Change uprobe_copy_process() to dup xol_area" has a stupid typo, we need to setup t->utask->vaddr but the code wrongly uses current->utask. Even with this bug dup_xol_work() works "in practice", but only because get_unmapped_area(NULL, TASK_SIZE - PAGE_SIZE) likely returns the same address every time.
