Subject: virtual vs physical addresses to cache functions
Date: Thu, 29 Oct 2009 10:26:48 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <962b2e4e-74f1-47ea-8847-e16edeef151b@VA3EHSMHS013.ehs.local> (raw)

Maybe this is a dumb question...

I believe that the kernel expects virtual addresses to be passed to the
defined cache functions across all architectures.  Looking at PowerPC
and Blackfin confirm this I think.

Can someone confirm this or point to where it's documented as I have dug
for it without finding any specific details?

Thanks,
John
