2016-02-11mm: fix pfn_t vs highmemDan Williams
The pfn_t type uses an unsigned long to store a pfn + flags value. On a 64-bit platform the upper 12 bits of an unsigned long are never used for storing the value of a pfn. However, this is not true on highmem platforms, all 32-bits of a pfn value are used to address a 44-bit physical address space. A pfn_t needs to store a 64-bit value.

2016-01-15mm, dax, pmem: introduce pfn_tDan Williams
For the purpose of communicating the optional presence of a 'struct page' for the pfn returned from ->direct_access(), introduce a type that encapsulates a page-frame-number plus flags. These flags contain the historical "page_link" encoding for a scatterlist entry, but can also denote "device memory". Where "device memory" is a set of pfns that are not part of the kernel's linear mapping by default, but are accessed via the same memory controller as ram. The motivation for this new type is large capacity persistent memory that needs struct page entries in the 'memmap' to support 3rd party DMA (i.e. O_DIRECT I/O with a persistent memory source/target). However, we also need it in support of maintaining a list of mapped inodes which need to be unmapped at driver teardown or freeze_bdev() time.

2016-01-14mm: add PHYS_PFN, use it in __phys_to_pfn()Chen Gang
__phys_to_pfn and __pfn_to_phys are symmetric, PHYS_PFN and PFN_PHYS are semmetric: - y = (phys_addr_t)x << PAGE_SHIFT - y >> PAGE_SHIFT = (phys_add_t)x - (unsigned long)(y >> PAGE_SHIFT) = x [akpm@linux-foundation.org: use macro arg name `x'] [arnd@arndb.de: include linux/pfn.h for PHYS_PFN definition] Signed-off-by: Chen Gang <gang.chen.5i5j@gmail.com> Cc: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2008-09-14generic: make PFN_PHYS explicitly return phys_addr_tJeremy Fitzhardinge
PFN_PHYS, as its name suggests, turns a pfn into a physical address. However, it is a macro which just operates on its argument without modifying its type. pfns are typed unsigned long, but an unsigned long may not be long enough to hold a physical address (32-bit systems with more than 32 bits of physcial address). Make sure we cast to phys_addr_t to return a complete result. Signed-off-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy.fitzhardinge@citrix.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2006-03-27[PATCH] unify PFN_* macrosDave Hansen
Just about every architecture defines some macros to do operations on pfns. They're all virtually identical. This patch consolidates all of them. One minor glitch is that at least i386 uses them in a very skeletal header file. To keep away from #include dependency hell, I stuck the new definitions in a new, isolated header. Of all of the implementations, sh64 is the only one that varied by a bit. It used some masks to ensure that any sign-extension got ripped away before the arithmetic is done. This has been posted to that sh64 maintainers and the development list. Compiles on x86, x86_64, ia64 and ppc64.
