You see the problem. Any occurrence of PAGE_OFFSET must be checked.
yes and whatever the scheme you propose...
the kernel-addresses. Moreover it would be desirable, if this macro
really could be used throughout the kernel, e.g. by drivers, handling
any reasonable kernel-address, which isn't possible in the page_offset
scheme anyway.
Can you explain why the current use of pa() failed to handle all
kernel address with a real example ?
A few people reported that they had problem with KPHYS/CKSEG0 address
mix for 64 bit kernels but as far I can see it was due to a miss
configuration of their kernels. Of course I can be wrong but these
people haven't given any feedbacks so far...
Thanks
