From 0d69bdff451a10aa48f80509e8bf18fb24683c06 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Toshi Kani Date: Thu, 4 Jun 2015 18:55:13 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] x86/mm/pat: Change reserve_memtype() for Write-Through type When a target range is in RAM, reserve_ram_pages_type() verifies the requested type. Change it to fail WT and WP requests with -EINVAL since set_page_memtype() is limited to handle three types: WB, WC and UC-.
