From 1adcaafe7414c5731f758b158aa0525057225deb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Suresh Siddha Date: Mon, 17 Aug 2009 13:23:50 -0700 Subject: x86, pat: Allow ISA memory range uncacheable mapping requests Max Vozeler reported: > Bug 13877 - bogl-term broken with CONFIG_X86_PAT=y, works with =n > > strace of bogl-term: > 814 mmap2(NULL, 65536, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, 4, 0) > = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) > 814 write(2, "bogl: mmaping /dev/fb0: Resource temporarily unavailable\n", > 57) = 57 PAT code maps the ISA memory range as WB in the PAT attribute, so that fixed range MTRR registers define the actual memory type (UC/WC/WT etc). But the upper level is_new_memtype_allowed() API checks are failing, as the request here is for UC and the return tracked type is WB (Tracked type is WB as MTRR type for this legacy range potentially will be different for each 4k page). Fix is_new_memtype_allowed() by always succeeding the ISA address range checks, as the null PAT (WB) and def MTRR fixed range register settings satisfy the memory type needs of the applications that map the ISA address range.
