Subject: [patch 4/6] Dont check for pfn_valid() in uaccess_pt.c
Date: Wed, 18 Mar 2009 13:48:33 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090318124845.801638079@de.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20090318124829.637003183@de.ibm.com
[-- Attachment #1: 004-valid.diff --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 2331 bytes --]
From: Gerald Schaefer <gerald.schaefer@de.ibm.com>
pfn_valid() actually checks for a valid struct page and not for a
valid pfn. Using xip mappings w/o struct pages, this will result in
-EFAULT returned by the (page table walk) user copy functions,
even though there is valid memory. Those user copy functions don't
need a struct page, so this patch just removes the pfn_valid() check.
