--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
There is a patch in upstream kernel 2.6.28 which fixes an oversight bug
in the code for /proc/<pid>/pagemap file; you can find the commit at
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=49c50342c728344b79c8f9e8293637fe80ef5ad5
Without this bugfix, the pagemap file is missing the Present/Swapped
bits for every page on 32 bit systems, because they are encoded in bits
62 and 63, while the bug truncates the values to 32 bits.
The patch itself is attached as well. Would it be possible to apply it
to the kernel for Lenny? Or will it appear there anyway with a future
update?
Thanks,
Oliver
