Subject: Wrong __pa() usages in driver/char/mem.c ?
Date: Thu, 12 Oct 2006 14:25:53 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <452E3451.1090907@innova-card.com> (raw)

I'm suprised to find some __pa() usages in a driver. I would
have used virt_to_phys() instead. In my understanding __pa()
is used only during early bootmem init, because this macro
is aware of any weird things that might exist at this early 
stage. But once this stage is completed virt_to_phys() should
be used.

Is this understanding wrong ?

Thanks
		Franck
