Very small patch to 0.99pl12
I hate to put out patches this soon after a release, but there is one potentially major problem in pl12 which is very simple to fix.. I'm including patches: both in plain ascii and as a uuencoded gzip file (it's the same patch - the uuencoded one is in case there is any newsserver that messes up whitespace). The main patch is just the change from __get_free_page(GFP_BUFFER) into get_free_page(GFP_KERNEL), and the two minor patches just add checks that actually enforce the read-only nature of current file mmap'ings so that any program that tries to do a write mapping at least will be told that it won't work. I'd suggest anybody compiling pl12 should add at least the file_table.c patch: thanks to Alexandre Julliard for noticing this one. Linus
