[SCSI] sg: do not set VM_IO flag on mmap-ed pages
Further to the problem discussed in this post: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=112540053711489&w=2 It seems that the sg driver does not need to set the VM_IO flag on pages that it memory maps to the user space since they are not from the IO space. Ahmed Teirelbar <ahmed.teirelbar@adic.com> wants the facility and has tested this patch as I have without adverse effects. The oops protection is still important. Some users really did try and use dio transfers from the sg driver to memory mapped IO space (on a video capture card if my memory serves) during the lk 2.4 series. I'm not sure how successful it was but that will now be politely refused in lk 2.6.13+ . Changelog: - set the page flags for sg's reserved buffer mmap-ed to the user space to VM_RESERVED (rather than VM_RESERVED | VM_IO ) Signed-off-by: Douglas Gilbert <dougg@torque.net> Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@SteelEye.com>
