Hi,
I am trying to solve crash on old patched 2.6.18 kernel
where virt_to_page() used on stack variable address.
function() {
struct {
u32 ...
u32 ...
...
} bla;
... = virt_to_page(&bla);
}
i386 it works fine but x86_64 kernl panics.
When kernel panics, &bla is something like ffffffff80574d40,
which is not valid for virt_to_pages, AFAIK.
Any ideas?
Why it is not save to use virt_to_pages on stack addresses?
Thank you
