*** This bug has been split off bug 139571 *** Jesse Barnes noted that cat'ing /proc/pal/cpu0/tr_info several times led to a kernel hang. As a result of the investigation it was noted that __pa was used where ia64_tpa should have been used. There has been a discussion on linux-ia64 which can be viewed here: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-ia64&m=110056840729519&w=2 ------- Additional comment by Prarit Bhargava on 2004.11.16 14:23 ------- Created an attachment (id=106834) Patch to fix __pa usage in ia64 ------- Additional comment by Josh Bressers (Security Response Team) on 2004.11.18 14:13 ------- Do we know which versions of our kernels are affected by this issue? From an initial look, it would seem only 2.6, but obviously I'm not the best person to answer that question.
this is an issue for RHEL3 as well...tracking bug
this actually isn't an issue for 2.4 based kernels, b/c the kernel is identity mapped in region 7. closing.
Marcelo agrees; removing from tracking.
