The early ioremap interfaces are intended for situations where boot code needs to make temporary virtual mappings before the normal ioremap interfaces are available. Typically, this means before paging_init() has run. This patch (of 6): There's a lot of sparse warnings for code like below: void *a = early_memremap(phys_addr, size); early_memremap intend to map kernel memory with ioremap facility, the return pointer should be a kernel ram pointer instead of iomem one. For making the function clearer and supressing sparse warnings this patch do below two things: 1. cast to (__force void *) for the return value of early_memremap 2. add early_memunmap function and pass (__force void __iomem *) to iounmap From Boris: "Ingo told me yesterday, it makes sense too. I'd guess we can try it. FWIW, all callers of early_memremap use the memory they get remapped as normal memory so we should be safe" Signed-off-by: Dave Young Signed-off-by: Mark Salter Acked-by: H.
