Which means that you could move the function to generic mm/memory_failure.c code after making the decoy_addr computation generic. I'd still like to hear some sort of confirmation from other vendors/arches whether it makes sense for them too, though. I mean, if they don't do speculative accesses, then it probably doesn't matter even - the page is innacessible anyway but still... -- Regards/Gruss, Boris.
