Segments are meant to be marked as SF_FIXED when they are mapped in with VKI_MAP_FIXED. Because of the above bug, all segments were being marked as SF_FIXED. I'm not aware of any problems this caused, but it didn't seem like a good idea to be mis-marking our segments. I'd be happy to get rid of this SF_FIXED flag altogether. It's never used in a meaningful way (not surprising, given that it was being consistently misapplied). A number of the SF_* flags fall into this category. N |
