That's what I did before but it didn't work. The problem is that
pte_advance_pfn() takes a long not a long long:
static inline pte_t pte_advance_pfn(pte_t pte, unsigned long nr)
{
return __pte(pte_val(pte) + (nr << PFN_PTE_SHIFT));
}
And when I called it with nr = PMD_SIZE / PAGE_SIZE = 2M / 4k = 512, as
we have PFN_PTE_SHIFT = 24, I got 512 << 24 = 0Ah, I missed that trickery with the types. Thanks! -- Oscar Salvador SUSE Labs
