What is this for? This patch series doesn't make this file.
+static unsigned long kernel_start_pa;
+
+void
+xencomm_initialize(void)
+{
+ kernel_start_pa = KERNEL_START - ia64_tpa(KERNEL_START);
+}
"kernel_start_pa" is an unhelpful name ... this variable doesn't
contain the starting physical address (which is what the name
sounds like). Perhaps "kernel_virtual_offset" is better?
+ if (vaddr > TASK_SIZE) {
+ /* kernel address */
+ return __pa(vaddr);
+ }
Can this routine ever be given the address of a percpu variable?
This will return the wrong value if someone does.
+#define is_kernel_addr(x) \
+ ((PAGE_OFFSET <= (x) && \
+ (x) < (PAGE_OFFSET + (1UL << IA64_MAX_PHYS_BITS))) || \
+ (KERNEL_START <= (x) && \
+ (x) < KERNEL_START + KERNEL_TR_PAGE_SIZE))
Misleading name. What does it consider a "kernel_addr"? Just
region 7 (up to physical address limit) and the piece of region
5 that is mapped by itr[0]/dtr[0]. Preferebly pick a better name
or add a comment here saying what this is testing for.
