From 63028aa7f581d9d4e6889f9dc06ded2534250a76 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kiyoshi Ueda Date: Wed, 24 Aug 2005 18:03:43 -0400 Subject: [IA64] page_not_present fault in region 5 is normal When copying data from user-space to kernel-space by __copy_user(), a page_not_present fault sometimes occurs at vmalloced kernel address because of VHPT pre-fetching. Ignore the page_not_present fault in ia64_do_page_fault() before jumping into exception handlers.
