Subject: [PATCH][2.5.47]Add exported valid_kernel_address()
Date: Wed, 13 Nov 2002 12:13:43 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200211132013.gADKDhS01389@linux.intel.com> (raw)

The following is a small patch to the 2.5.47 kernel that adds an exported
function called valid_kernel_address() that allows kernel code to verify
a kernel-mapped address is valid.

valid_kernel_address just calls the static inline kernel_text_address()
function defined in arch/i386/kernel/traps.c
