From 96c6b598135e7cec66161e8943823470c7c8954e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Logan Gunthorpe Date: Fri, 10 Apr 2020 14:33:17 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mm/memory_hotplug: drop the flags field from struct mhp_restrictions Patch series "Allow setting caching mode in arch_add_memory() for P2PDMA", v4. Currently, the page tables created using memremap_pages() are always created with the PAGE_KERNEL cacheing mode. However, the P2PDMA code is creating pages for PCI BAR memory which should never be accessed through the cache and instead use either WC or UC. This still works in most cases, on x86, because the MTRR registers typically override the caching settings in the page tables for all of the IO memory to be UC-. However, this tends not to work so well on other arches or some rare x86 machines that have firmware which does not setup the MTRR registers in this way. Instead of this, this series proposes a change to arch_add_memory() to take the pgprot required by the mapping which allows us to explicitly set pagetable entries for P2PDMA memory to UC. This changes is pretty routine for most of the arches: x86_64, arm64 and powerpc simply need to thread the pgprot through to where the page tables are setup. x86_32 unfortunately sets up the page tables at boot so must use _set_memory_prot() to change their caching mode. ia64, s390 and sh don't appear to have an easy way to change the page tables so, for now at least, we just return -EINVAL on such mappings and thus they will not support P2PDMA memory until the work for this is done. This should be fine as they don't yet support ZONE_DEVICE. This patch (of 7): This variable is not used anywhere and should therefore be removed from the structure.
