From fc1c183353a113c71675fecd0485e5aa0fe68d72 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pekka Enberg Date: Wed, 7 Apr 2010 19:23:40 +0300 Subject: slab: Generify kernel pointer validation As suggested by Linus, introduce a kern_ptr_validate() helper that does some sanity checks to make sure a pointer is a valid kernel pointer. This is a preparational step for fixing SLUB kmem_ptr_validate().
