From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: lauraa@codeaurora.org (Laura Abbott) Date: Tue, 10 Dec 2013 17:23:01 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] arm: Correct virt_addr_valid Message-ID: <1386724982-16997-1-git-send-email-lauraa@codeaurora.org> To: linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org List-Id: linux-arm-kernel.lists.infradead.org The definition of virt_addr_valid is that virt_addr_valid should return true if and only if virt_to_page returns a valid pointer. The current definition of virt_addr_valid only checks against the virtual address range. There's no guarantee that just because a virtual address falls bewteen PAGE_OFFSET and high_memory the associated physical memory has a valid backing struct page. Follow the example of other architectures and convert to pfn_valid to verify that the virtual address is actually valid.
