Series arm64: untag user pointers passed to the kernel | expand

Commit Message

Andrey Konovalov March 20, 2019, 2:51 p.m. UTC
This patch is a part of a series that extends arm64 kernel ABI to allow to
pass tagged user pointers (with the top byte set to something else other
than 0x00) as syscall arguments.

mlx4_get_umem_mr() uses provided user pointers for vma lookups, which can
only by done with untagged pointers.

Untag user pointers in this function.

Thanks,

Interesting, the followup question is why mlx4 is only one driver in IB which
needs such code in umem_mr. I'll take a look on it.

Thanks
