From 511030bcd24119fa3759ef3f914d354e107ef839 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Lameter Date: Tue, 28 Feb 2006 16:58:57 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] Fix sys_migrate_pages: Move all pages when invoked from root Currently sys_migrate_pages only moves pages belonging to a process. This is okay when invoked from a regular user. But if invoked from root it should move all pages as documented in the migrate_pages manpage.
