The patch had: From: Stas Sergeev Attached patch works around the corruption of the high word of the ESP register, which is the official bug of x86 CPUs. The bug triggers only when the one is using the 16bit stack segment, and is described here: http://www.intel.com/design/intarch/specupdt/27287402.PDF From: Oleg Nesterov I think that Stas tries to steal 1024 bytes from kernel's memory.
