H A Dioremap.cdiff cb8ab687c32331fb548c613ae74df574bb0908c1 Wed Apr 30 17:30:24 CEST 2008 Andres Salomon <dilinger@queued.net> x86: ioremap ram check fix

bdd3cee2e4b7279457139058615ced6c2b41e7de (x86: ioremap(), extend check
to all RAM pages) breaks OLPC's ioremap call. The ioremap that OLPC uses is:

romsig = ioremap(0xffffffc0, 16);

The commit that breaks it is basically:

- for (pfn = phys_addr >> PAGE_SHIFT; pfn < max_pfn_mapped &&
- (pfn << PAGE_SHIFT) < last_addr; pfn++) {
+ for (pfn = phys_addr >> PAGE_SHIFT;
+ (pfn << PAGE_SHIFT) < last_addr; pfn++) {
+

Previously, the 'pfn < max_pfn_mapped' check would've caused us to not
enter the loop. Removing that check means we loop infinitely. The
reason for that is because pfn is 0xfffff, and last_addr is 0xffffffcf.
The remaining check that is used to exit the loop is not sufficient;
when pfn<<PAGE_SHIFT is 0xfffff000, that is less than 0xffffffcf; when
we increment pfn and it overflows (pfn == 0x100000), pfn<<PAGE_SHIFT
ends up being 0. That, of course, is less than last_addr. In effect,
pfn<<PAGE_SHIFT is never lower than last_addr.

The simple fix for this is to limit the last_addr check to the PAGE_MASK;
a patch is below.
