From 9ae3ae0bebb9a3a348dc233229008b126014889d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexandre Rusev Date: Tue, 26 Feb 2008 18:42:10 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] [ARM] 4839/1: fixes kernel Oops in /dev/mem device driver for memory map with PHYS_OFF "cat /dev/mem" may cause kernel Oops for boards with PHYS_OFFSET != 0 because character device is mapped to addresses starting from zero and there is no protection against such situation. Patch just add this.
