Subject: [PATCH 3/5] avoid /dev/kmem oopses with DEBUG_VIRTUAL
Date: Wed, 10 Apr 2013 16:32:53 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130410233253.250AD1EA@viggo.jf.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20130410233249.7FFCB63B@viggo.jf.intel.com>


DEBUG_VIRTUAL, ensures that when __pa() is only called on
addresses for which its results are correct.  For everything
else, we BUG_ON().

This changes the /dev/kmem ordering so that we check pfn_valid()
_before_ we call __pa().  This ensures we're not calling __pa()
with gibberish and avoids the BUG_ON() in those cases, instead
returning the error to userspace _before_ the __pa() call.
