Because of this bug, application mapping this RAM page through /dev/mem will die with "Corrupted page table at address xxxx" message in the kernel log and also the kernel identity mapping which maps the underlying RAM page gets converted to UC. Fix this by initializing the return attribute type before calling reserve_ram_pages_type() Reported-by: NPaX Team <pageexec@freemail.hu> Reported-and-tested-by: NBeschorner Daniel <Daniel.Beschorner@facton.com> Tested-and-Acked-by: NPaX Team <pageexec@freemail.hu> Signed-off-by: NSuresh Siddha <suresh.b.siddha@intel.com> Signed-off-by: NVenkatesh Pallipadi <venkatesh.pallipadi@intel.com> Signed-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
