[PATCH 0/3] x86/mm: fix early_memremap() sparse warnings

From: Linn Crosetto
Date: Fri Sep 06 2013 - 14:08:57 EST


This set of patches cleans up some sparse warnings generated by callers of
early_memremap().

early_memremap() was created as an interface to to map normal memory (commit
1494177), in contrast to early_ioremap() for IO mappings. Later on,
early_memremap() was annotated with __iomem (commit 1d6cf1f) which generates
sparse warnings for callers using pointers not declared with __iomem. Callers
of early_memremap() were expected to use early_iounmap() to remove the mapping,
which generates more sparse warnings as the argument to early_iounmap() is also
annotated with __iomem.

To clean this up, remove __iomem from early_memremap() and create
early_memunmap() to be used for removing normal memory mappings.

Removes the following warnings:

arch/x86/kernel/setup.c:353:19: warning: incorrect type in assignment (different address spaces)
arch/x86/kernel/setup.c:355:31: warning: incorrect type in argument 1 (different address spaces)
