[patch added to the 3.12 stable tree] ARM: 7840/1: LPAE: don't reject mapping /dev/mem above 4GB

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Sergey Dyasly <dserrg@xxxxxxxxx>

This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any
objections, please let us know.

===============

commit 3159f372354e8e1f5dee714663d705dd2c7e0759 upstream.

With LPAE enabled, physical address space is larger than 4GB. Allow mapping any
part of it via /dev/mem by using PHYS_MASK to determine valid range.

PHYS_MASK covers 40 bits with LPAE enabled and 32 bits otherwise.
