No. My addresses are in the 44-bits range (around fc000000000). So it is
not required for my problem. This change assumes that phys_addr can be
above 44-bits (up to 52-bits (and higher in the future?)).
By the way, is there linux kernel limit regarding above 44-bits physical
address in x86_32 PAE? For example, pfn above 32-bits is not supported?
#ifdef CONFIG_X86_PAE
/* 44=32+12, the limit we can fit into an unsigned long pfn */
#define __PHYSICAL_MASK_SHIFT 44
#define __VIRTUAL_MASK_SHIFT 32
If there is 44-bits physical address limit, I think it's better to use
PHYSICAL_PAGE_MASK for masking physical address, instead of "(phys_addr
>> PAGE_SHIFT) << PAGE_SHIFT)". The PHYSICAL_PAGE_MASK would become
greater value when 44-bits physical address limit is eliminated. And
maybe we need to change phys_addr_valid() returns error if physical
address is above (1 << __PHYSICAL_MASK_SHIFT)?
