Currently, when updating section permissions to mark areas RO
or NX, the only mm updated is current->mm. This is working off
the assumption that there are no additional mm structures at
the time. This may not always hold true. (Example: calling
modprobe early will trigger a fork/exec). Ensure all mm structres
get updated with the new section information.

This looks right to me. :)

Russell, does this work for you?

Did this end up in the patch tracker? (I just sent a patch that'll
collide with this... I'm happy to do the fix up.)


I put this in the patch tracker this morning.

Thanks,
