Description Robert Scheck 2006-02-12 12:06:26 UTC

Description of problem:
I just played around to see what happens when entering kudzu as root at the 
command line:

# kudzu
mmap /dev/mem: Permission denied
mmap /dev/mem: Permission denied
# 

Then I found the following in /var/log/messages:
kernel: program kudzu is using MAP_PRIVATE, PROT_WRITE mmap of VM_RESERVED 
memory, which is deprecated. Please report this to linux-kernel.org

Is it a bug/problem in kudzu, is it kernel related or did I something forbidden 
with kudzu?

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kudzu-1.2.25-1
kernel-2.6.14-1.1697_FC5

How reproducible:
Everytime, see above.

Actual results:
Message in syslog.

Expected results:
No message in syslog ;-)

Additional info:
SELinux targeted is permissive; hardware environment is a HP ProLiant DL360 G3 
rack server (ServerWorks/Broadcom chipsets).

Comment 1 Bill Nottingham 2006-02-13 16:43:47 UTC

It's related to temporary changes in the kernel around that timeframe - it
should be fixed with later kernels.
