Hi All,
I am doing a below call in my driver to get the virtual address
equivalent to physical address 0x0.
pdata->v_addr = ioremap(pdata->p_addr, PAGE_SIZE); /* pdata->p_addr=0 */
Above call returns me a valid virtual address i.e: 0xfa200000. After
that when i try to access the address i am getting a kernel panic like
below.

Can someone know me what is wrong in ioremap call?
Why i am not seeing a crash after i commented out the loop above?
Looks like you are hitting the empty section gap:
0xfa200000-0xfa300000 1048576 pmd_empty_section_gap+0x0/0x3c ioremap
pmd_empty_section_gap ends up with vm->phys_addr = 0x0 because it was
never set. This section isn't actually mapped so when searching for the
range in the static io map it finds this address and returns it but it
isn't actually a valid address to return. Perhaps ioremap should not
bother trying to re-use the static iomap if the address is zero and let
pmd_empty_section_gap use 0x0 as a dummy value?
