Hmm, from the result of my test, vmalloc_sync_all() didn't change anything...

I investigate it a bit deeper. I compared fixmap's page* and original
which vmalloc_to_page returns(because vmalloc_to_page just decode
current pagetable).

I added a printk right after set_fixmap, which shows below message.

fixmap:<fixmap's vaddr>:<page* by vmalloc_to_page>, \
orig:<original vaddr>:<page* passed to fixmap>

When I probe a module address, I got this;
fixmap:ffc58000:c1db1ae4, orig:f84a1000:c59b1ae4

on the other hand, when probing a kernel addrees, I got this;
fixmap:ffc58000:c129e01c, orig:c048946a:c129e01c

I guess this means that set_fixmap didn't set a correct page or
page_to_phys() returned incorrect phys address.

Thank you,
