According to documentation I happen to have handy this limit is actually
52 bits (and space is currently available in the data structures used for
a possible future extension up to 63 bits).
Thank you for pointing it out. I misunderstood that.
Now I think I need to add additional check to see if specified
physical address can be handled by x86 ioremap(), instead of
changing phys_addr_valid(). The code would be
static void __iomem *__ioremap_caller(...)
{
...
#if defined(CONFIG_X86_32) && defined(CONFIG_X86_PAE)
if (phys_addr is higer than 36-bit) {
printk(KERN_INFO "ioremap can't map physical address %llx\n",
return NULL;
}
#endif
...
}
Thanks,
Kenji Kaneshige
