Subject: [PATCH 2/3] devmem: check vmalloc address on kmem read/write
Date: Wed, 16 Sep 2009 09:39:41 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090916014958.836124324@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20090916013939.656308742@intel.com

[-- Attachment #1: vmalloc-addr-fix.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1389 bytes --]

From: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com>

Otherwise vmalloc_to_page() will BUG().

This also makes the kmem read/write implementation aligned with mem(4):
"References to nonexistent locations cause errors to be returned." Here
we return -ENXIO (inspired by Hugh) if no bytes have been transfered
to/from user space, otherwise return partial read/write results.
