+
+[PATCH] sys_set_mempolicy() doesnt check if mode < 0
+
+A kernel BUG() is triggered by a call to set_mempolicy() with a negative
+first argument.  This is because the mode is declared as an int, and the
+validity check doesnt check < 0 values.  Alternatively, mode could be
+declared as unsigned int or unsigned long.
