Subject: [PATCH] xen: fix sparse warning in page.h
Date: Fri, 5 Dec 2014 07:16:57 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1417760217-16977-1-git-send-email-jgross@suse.com> (raw)
The inline function mfn_to_pfn_no_overrides() uses __get_user() to
access the machine_to_phys_mapping array to avoid crashes when
using out of bounds indices e.g. for I/O addresses.
Avoid sparse warnings by attributing the accessed address with __user.
