how set_pte_at()'s vaddr and ptep args relate
...sponds to the vaddr, but is this necessarily the case?
For example, it is valid to pass a non-highmem page kmap_atomic(), which
will simply return a direct pointer to the page.
kunmap_atomic() takes this address, as well as the kmap slot index, and
ends up calling:
set_pte_at(&init_mm, lowmem_vaddr, kmap_ptep, 0);
ie, the vaddr and the ptep bear no relationship to each other. Is this
a bug in kunmap_atomic (it shouldn't try to clear the pte for lowmem
addresses), or should set_pte_at's implementation be able to cope with this.
Certainly at the moment, having mismatched ptep and v...
