The KVM code has some repeated bugs in it around use of __pa() on per-cpu data. Those data are not in an area on which using __pa() is valid. However, they are also called early enough in boot that __vmalloc_start_set is not set, and thus the CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL debugging does not catch them. This adds a check to also verify __pa() calls against max_low_pfn, which we can use earler in boot than is_vmalloc_addr(). However, if we are super-early in boot, max_low_pfn=0 and this will trip on every call, so also make sure that max_low_pfn is set before we try to use it. With this patch applied, CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL will actually catch the bug I was chasing (and fix later in this series). I'd love to find a generic way so that any __pa() call on percpu areas could do a BUG_ON(), but there don't appear to be any nice and easy ways to check if an address is a percpu one. Anybody have ideas on a way to do this? Signed-off-by: NDave Hansen <dave@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20130122212430.F46F8159@kernel.stglabs.ibm.comSigned-off-by: NH.
