[PATCH V2] powerpc: Fail remap_4k_pfn() if PFN doesn't fit inside PTE

From: Madhusudanan Kandasamy
Date: Thu Jul 10 2014 - 04:42:35 EST


V2 : Rewritten to avoid helper function as suggested by Stephen Rothwell.
remap_4k_pfn() silently truncates upper bits of input 4K PFN if
it cannot be contained in PTE. This leads invalid memory mapping
and could result in a system crash when the memory is accessed.
This patch fails remap_4k_pfn() and returns -EINVAL if the input
4K PFN cannot be contained in PTE.
