[PATCH][2.6-mm] Fix 4G/4G X11/vm86 oops

From: Zwane Mwaikambo
Date: Sat Nov 15 2003 - 14:36:06 EST


The 4G/4G page fault handling path doesn't appear to handle faults
happening whilst in vm86. The regs->xcs != __USER_CS so it confused the in
kernel test.

However i'm still debugging the X11 triple fault in test9-mm3

Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 00002000
printing eip:
