[PATCH] drm/ttm: Fix vma page_prot bit manipulation - dri-devel - freedesktop.org experimental mailing list

6 Nov 2013

Fix a long-standing TTM issue where we manipulated the vma page_prot
bits while mmap_sem was taken in read mode only. We now make a local
copy of the vma structure which we pass when we set the ptes.
