[PATCH] mm: make apply_to_page_range more robust

Show all headers | View raw

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.
