Thank you for your answer. Is there a way to get the virtual address by traversing the pgd->pte->page hierarchy? I'm not sure I can use the phys_to_virt() function.
Thanks,
Mohammad

pte_page returns struct page pointer (virtual address of the struct page, but
i suppose it's not the virtual address you need), it has nothing to do with a
virtual address the pte corresponds to.

page_to_phys returns physical address the struct page corresponds to, so yes.
