Subject: [PATCH] Fix kunmap_atomic's use of kpte_clear_flush()
Date: Tue, 07 Nov 2006 16:22:02 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4551232A.4020203@goop.org> (raw)
kunmap_atomic() will call kpte_clear_flush with vaddr/ptep arguments
which don't correspond if the vaddr is just a normal lowmem address
(ie, not in the KMAP area). This patch makes sure that the pte is
only cleared if kmap area was actually used for the mapping.
