Revision fc1c183353a113c71675fecd0485e5aa0fe68d72 authored by Pekka Enberg on 07 April 2010, 16:23:40 UTC, committed by Linus Torvalds on 09 April 2010, 17:09:50 UTC 
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().
