Arjanv's patch ?

Arjanv's patch ?

Posted Oct 14, 2004 5:42 UTC (Thu) by nhoxanh (guest, #17931)
Parent article: The -mm development tree

---- Arjan van de Ven's patch which keeps processes from being able to overwrite kernel memory via /dev/mem. This patch has been shipped with Red Hat/Fedora kernels for a while, but is not yet in the mainline.

Anybody knows where can I get this patch? (off the -mm tree, ofcourse)

Many thanks.
