Subject: [PATCH] x86: ioremap ram check fix
Date: Wed, 30 Apr 2008 11:30:24 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080430113024.43aa3935@ephemeral> (raw)
Hi Ingo,
bdd3cee2e4b7279457139058615ced6c2b41e7de (x86: ioremap(), extend check
to all RAM pages) breaks OLPC's ioremap call. The ioremap that OLPC uses is:
romsig = ioremap(0xffffffc0, 16);
The commit that breaks it is basically:
- for (pfn = phys_addr >> PAGE_SHIFT; pfn < max_pfn_mapped &&
- (pfn << PAGE_SHIFT) < last_addr; pfn++) {
+ for (pfn = phys_addr >> PAGE_SHIFT;
+ (pfn << PAGE_SHIFT) < last_addr; pfn++) {
+
Previously, the 'pfn < max_pfn_mapped' check would've caused us to not
enter the loop. Removing that check means we loop infinitely. The
reason for that is because pfn is 0xfffff, and last_addr is 0xffffffcf.
The remaining check that is used to exit the loop is not sufficient;
when pfn<<PAGE_SHIFT is 0xfffff000, that is less than 0xffffffcf; when
we increment pfn and it overflows (pfn == 0x100000), pfn<<PAGE_SHIFT
ends up being 0. That, of course, is less than last_addr. In effect,
pfn<<PAGE_SHIFT is never lower than last_addr.
The simple fix for this is to limit the last_addr check to the PAGE_MASK;
a patch is below.
