Subject: [PATCH 1/1 v2] powerpc: pkey-mprotect must allow pkey-0
Date: Wed, 14 Mar 2018 00:45:00 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1521013500-26740-1-git-send-email-linuxram@us.ibm.com> (raw)
Once an address range is associated with an allocated pkey, it cannot be
reverted back to key-0. There is no valid reason for the above behavior. On
the contrary applications need the ability to do so.
The patch relaxes the restriction.
Tested on powerpc.
