From: Suresh Siddha Date: Mon, 26 Oct 2009 21:21:32 +0000 (-0800) Subject: x86/PCI/PAT: return EINVAL for pci mmap WC request for !pat_enabled X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=2992e545ea006992ec9dc91c4fa996ce1e15f921;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git x86/PCI/PAT: return EINVAL for pci mmap WC request for !pat_enabled Thomas Schlichter reported: > X.org uses libpciaccess which tries to mmap with write combining enabled via > /sys/bus/pci/devices/*/resource0_wc. Currently, when PAT is not enabled, the > kernel does fall back to uncached mmap. Then libpciaccess thinks it succeeded > mapping with write combining enabled and does not set up suited MTRR entries. > ;-( Instead of silently mapping pci mmap region as UC minus in the case of !pat_enabled and wc request, we can return error. Eric Anholt mentioned that caller (like X) typically follows up with UC minus pci mmap request and if there is a free mtrr slot, caller will manage adding WC mtrr. Jesse Barnes says: > Older versions of libpciaccess will behave better if we do it that way > (iirc it only allocates an MTRR if the resource_wc file doesn't exist or > fails to get mapped).
