Hi Scott ! There's this pearl in cpm_common.c :
void __init udbg_init_cpm(void) { if (cpm_udbg_txdesc) { #ifdef CONFIG_CPM2 setbat(1, 0xf0000000, 0xf0000000, 1024*1024, PAGE_KERNEL_NCG); #endif udbg_putc = udbg_putc_cpm; } } Now, last I looked, 0xf0000000 (virtual) lands about right in the middle of the vmalloc space... so unless there's code somewhere that I missed that reserves that region of virtual space for use by that crap above, I think somebody is in trouble :-) Additionally, that's the last user of setbat that I can find outside of the linear mapping setup proper, so scott, once you've fixed that I'll happily make setbat static once for all. We -can- still provide a facility for using BATs for early ioremap's but that should be done properly, not by whacking setbat with random hard wired virtual addresses. Cheers, Ben. _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@ozlabs.org https://ozlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
