[PATCH v5 0/6] mtrr, mm, x86: Enhance MTRR checks for huge I/O mapping

From: Toshi Kani
Date: Fri May 15 2015 - 14:43:24 EST


This patchset enhances MTRR checks for the kernel huge I/O mapping.

The following functional changes are made in patch 6/6.
- Allow pud_set_huge() and pmd_set_huge() to create a huge page mapping
when the range is covered by a single MTRR entry of any memory type.
- Log a pr_warn_once() message when a specified PMD map range spans more
than a single MTRR entry. Drivers should make a mapping request aligned
to a single MTRR entry when the range is covered by MTRRs.

Patch 1/6 simplifies the condition of HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMAP in Kconfig.
Patch 2/6 - 5/6 are bug fix and clean up to mtrr_type_lookup().

The patchset is based on the tip tree.
