[PATCH 1/3] dma-debug: add checks for kernel text and rodata

From: Joerg Roedel
Date: Mon Mar 16 2009 - 13:05:59 EST


Impact: get notified if a device dma maps illegal areas

This patch adds a check to print a warning message when a device driver
tries to map a memory area from the kernel text segment or rodata.
