[PATCH 0/7] Clean up write-combining MTRR addition

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



A fair number of drivers (mostly graphics) add write-combining MTRRs.
Most ignore errors and most add the MTRR even on PAT systems which don't
need to use MTRRs.

This series adds new functions mtrr_{add,del}_wc_if_needed and
drm_mtrr_{add,del}_wc that report errors and do nothing if PAT is
enabled.

I've only tested the radeon driver, since I don't have test hardware
easily available for the other drivers.

Benefits include:
 - Simpler code
 - No more complaints about MTRR conflict warnings on PAT systems
 - Eventual unexporting of the MTRR API?

This series eliminates about half of the mtrr_add calls in drivers/.

The series is also at:

Andy Lutomirski (7):
  x86: Add mtrr_{add,del}_wc_if_needed
  drm (ast,cirrus,mgag200,nouveau,savage,vmwgfx): Rework
    drm_mtrr_{add,del}
  drm: Update drm_addmap and drm_mmap to use PAT WC instead of MTRRs
  drm: Use drm_mtrr_add_wc for the AGP aperture
  i915: Use drm_mtrr_{add,del}_wc
  radeon: Switch to drm_mtrr_add_wc and add a missing drm_mtrr_del_wc
  uvesafb: Clean up MTRR code
