Subject: [PATCH] VM, x86, PAT: Change implementation of is_linear_pfn_mapping
Date: Wed, 11 Mar 2009 10:54:53 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090311175452.GA1702@linux-os.sc.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20090311093338.GC12814@elte.hu>


Use of vma->vm_pgoff to identify the pfnmaps that are fully
mapped at mmap time is broke. vm_pgoff is set by generic mmap
code even for cases where drivers are setting up the mappings
at the fault time.

The problem was originally reported here.
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=123383810628583&w=2

Change is_linear_pfn_mapping logic to overload VM_NONLINEAR
flag along with VM_PFNMAP to mean full PFNMAP setup at mmap
time.
