Commit 8b150478 ("ppc: make phys_mem_access_prot() work with pfns
instead of addresses") fixed page_is_ram() in arch/ppc to avoid overflow
for addresses above 4G on 32-bit kernels. However arch/powerpc's
page_is_ram() is missing the same fix -- it computes a physical address
by doing pfn << PAGE_SHIFT, which overflows if pfn corresponds to a page
above 4G.
In particular this causes pages above 4G to be mapped with the wrong
caching attribute; for example many ppc440-based SoCs have PCI space
above 4G, and mmap()ing MMIO space may end up with a mapping that has
caching enabled.
Fix this by working with the pfn and avoiding the conversion to
physical address that causes the overflow. This patch compares the
pfn to max_pfn, which is a semantic change from the old code -- that
code compared the physical address to high_memory, which corresponds
to max_low_pfn. However, I think that was is another bug, since
highmem pages are still RAM.
