Re: [PATCH] Fix kunmap_atomic's use of kpte_clear_flush()

Jeremy Fitzhardinge wrote:

kunmap_atomic() will call kpte_clear_flush with vaddr/ptep arguments
which don't correspond if the vaddr is just a normal lowmem address
(ie, not in the KMAP area).  This patch makes sure that the pte is
only cleared if kmap area was actually used for the mapping.
