Subject: [PATCH] percpu: fix per_cpu_ptr_to_phys() handling of non-page-aligned addresses.
Date: Thu, 15 Dec 2011 11:25:59 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20111215192559.GA28283@gate.ebshome.net> (raw)
per_cpu_ptr_to_phys() incorrectly rounds up its result for non-kmalloc case
to the page boundary, which is bogus for any non-page-aligned address.
This fixes the only in-tree user of this function - sysfs handler for
per-cpu 'crash_notes' physical address. The manifestation of this bug is
missing 'CORE' ELF notes in kdump.
