Hi I have tested both this patch and the patch by Rabin and they are OK for me. The patches fixes the identified problems and I have not found any unwanted consequences from the patches.

Oza, Can you please append your actual patch as Rabin has done? The only thing that I have from you is this pseudo-code description: > then I have to do workaround for section level physical addresses as > follows. > page_dir = pgd + PGD_OFFSET(vaddr) * 2; > if (bit(vaddr,20)) //if bit is set then move to the next pgd */ > page_dir = page_dir + 1; > FILL_PGD(PAGEBASE(pgd), KVADDR, PGDIR_SIZE()); > pgd_pte = ULONG(machdep->pgd + PGDIR_OFFSET(page_dir)); > Then Mika can decide on how to proceed with the two patches.
