Subject: Re: [PATCH 1/1] dma-mapping: to avoid exception when cpu_addr is NULL

Suppose:
CONFIG_SPARSEMEM is opened.
CONFIG_DMA_API_DEBUG or CONFIG_CMA is opened.

Then virt_to_page or phys_to_page will be called. Finally, in __pfn_to_page, __sec = __pfn_to_section(__pfn) is NULL.
So access section->section_mem_map will trigger exception.

---------

#define __pfn_to_page(pfn)				\
({	unsigned long __pfn = (pfn);			\
	struct mem_section *__sec = __pfn_to_section(__pfn);	\
	__section_mem_map_addr(__sec) + __pfn;		\
})

static inline struct page *__section_mem_map_addr(struct mem_section *section)
{
	unsigned long map = section->section_mem_map;
	map &= SECTION_MAP_MASK;
	return (struct page *)map;
}
