From 5d2a2dbbc1025dbf7998b9289574d9592b8f21cc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Torvalds Date: Tue, 29 Nov 2005 14:07:55 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] cow_user_page: fix page alignment High Dickins points out that the user virtual address passed to the page fault handler isn't necessarily page-aligned. Also, add a comment on why the copy could fail for the user address case.
