Subject: [PATCH 3/4] [Patch-next] ACPI, APEI Fix the return value(==NULL) of acpi_pre_map always.

acpi_pre_map() is used for remapping the physical address of I/O, so
it should be return NULL or remapped virtual address. The problem
is whether I/O remapping is successful or not, the function returns
NULL always.

In acpi_pre_map(), after the physical address is remapped sucessfully,
it will check whether the physical address has been added into acpi_iomaps
list again. If the physical address has beed added into acpi_iomaps,
the virtual address will be saved in vaddr. Otherwise, NULL be saved in
vaddr.

So if the physical address has never been remapped, the return value of
acpi_pre_map will be NULL always.

This patch fixed it and I confirmed it on x86_64 next-tree.

No. NULL is returned for error path only. Please check the code again.

pre_map is not performance critical, so "unlikely" here helps little.

When will vaddr != map->vaddr?

There three places used the local variable vaddr in acpi_pre_map() in next-tree.
1. 115 vaddr = __acpi_try_ioremap(paddr, size);
2. 122 vaddr = ioremap(pg_off, pg_sz);
3. 135 vaddr = __acpi_try_ioremap(paddr, size);

Let's think about the following statement.
Assumption: the physical address has never been remapped.
Step:
1. vaddr == NULL
Because the physical address is not registered in the acpi_iomaps,
it should be returned NULL from __acpi_try_ioremap().

2. vaddr == the virtual address of the physical address.
Here if ioremap is successful, the value of vaddr should be
the virtual address returned from ioremap().

3. vaddr == NULL <== IMPORTANT
Here it is because the physical address has not been registered
in the acpi_iomaps yet, it still return NULL from __acpi_try_ioremap().
So it is why vaddr == NULL, even if the physical address has never
been remapped.

Result: vaddr == NULL.

And if the vaddr is not NULL, it could not be added into acpi_iomaps.
Codes in acpi_pre_map() is like following.

134 spin_lock_irqsave(&acpi_iomaps_lock, flags);
135 vaddr = __acpi_try_ioremap(paddr, size); <== the 3rd step
136 if (vaddr) {
137 spin_unlock_irqrestore(&acpi_iomaps_lock, flags);
138 iounmap(map->vaddr);
139 kfree(map);
140 return vaddr;
141 }
142 list_add_tail_rcu(&map->list, &acpi_iomaps); <== add into acpi_iomaps.
143 spin_unlock_irqrestore(&acpi_iomaps_lock, flags);

return vaddr + (paddr - pg_off), is not NULL for common cases.

Oops, this is a bug, and your patch really fix it. But I think you
should change the patch description. NULL is not returned in almost all
cases. Because (paddr - pg_off) is not zero in common cases.
