[PATCH] mm: make apply_to_page_range more robust

From: Mika PenttilÃ
Date: Fri Jan 15 2016 - 00:41:35 EST


Recent changes (4.4.0+) in module loader triggered oops on ARM. While
loading a module, size in :

apply_to_page_range(struct mm_struct *mm, unsigned long addr, unsigned
long size, pte_fn_t fn, void *data);

can be 0 triggering the bug BUG_ON(addr >= end);.

Fix by letting call with zero size succeed.
