From 17ebba1fe4da4b5d62782be8743e0e8231812af9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nicolas Pitre Date: Mon, 7 Jun 2010 21:28:55 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] ARM: 6165/1: trap overflows on highmem pages from kmap_atomic when debugging When CONFIG_DEBUG_HIGHMEM is used, the fixmap entry used for a highmem page by kmap_atomic() is always cleared by kunmap_atomic(). This helps find bad usages such as dereferences after the unmap, or overflow into the adjacent fixmap areas. But this debugging aid is completely bypassed when a kmap for the same page already exists as the kmap is reused instead. ON VIVT systems we have no choice but to reuse that kmap due to cache coherency issues, but on non VIVT systems we should always force the fixmap usage when debugging is active.
