Subject: [PATCH 5/5] keep /dev/kmem from triggering BUG_ON() with DEBUG_VIRTUAL
Date: Wed, 10 Apr 2013 16:32:56 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130410233256.D9FE46E1@viggo.jf.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20130410233249.7FFCB63B@viggo.jf.intel.com>


/dev/kmem can essentially be used to make the kernel call __pa()
on any address.  But, with DEBUG_VIRTUAL, we are now ensuring
that when __pa() is only called on addresses for which its
results are correct.  For everything else, we BUG_ON().

What this means is that a hapless /dev/kmem user can
unintentionally make the kernel BUG_ON().

This adds a function, is_kernel_linear_vaddr() to the /dev/kmem
code to ensure that __pa() will not BUG_ON().  It will, instead,
return an error up to the user.
