Are you > OK with the revert? Not OK with a revert as that will bring back the compilation errors for RISC-V NOMMU case. Instead, please work on a fix for your case on top of the current code. If I recall correctly, the code around this is rather messy with lots of ifdefs, which may be why this regression was introduced. Cleaning up the code first to avoid that may help avoiding further issues in the future. Note that to test patches/regressions for risc-v NOMMU builds, you can simply use buildroot and run: make sipeed_maix_bit_defconfig make To check that it builds. > > Can someone confirm my analysis here? > > Thanks! > > Best regards, > -- Damien Le Moal Western Digital Research
