    Subject[PATCH 3.18 72/84] mm/CMA: fix boot regression due to physical address of high_memory
    Date
    3.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

    ------------------

    From: Joonsoo Kim <iamjoonsoo.kim@lge.com>

    commit 6b101e2a3ce4d2a0312087598bd1ab4a1db2ac40 upstream.

    high_memory isn't direct mapped memory so retrieving it's physical address
    isn't appropriate. But, it would be useful to check physical address of
    highmem boundary so it's justfiable to get physical address from it. In
    x86, there is a validation check if CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL and it triggers
    following boot failure reported by Ingo.

    ...
    BUG: Int 6: CR2 00f06f53
    ...
    Call Trace:
    dump_stack+0x41/0x52
    early_idt_handler+0x6b/0x6b
    cma_declare_contiguous+0x33/0x212

    setup_arch+0x7b5/0xb63
    start_kernel+0xb8/0x3e6
    i386_start_kernel+0x79/0x7d

    To fix boot regression, this patch implements workaround to avoid
    validation check in x86 when retrieving physical address of high_memory.
    __pa_nodebug() used by this patch is implemented only in x86 so there is
    no choice but to use dirty #ifdef.
