Presumably it worked for me because I only overrode the cacheability bits and lookup_memtype did the right thing. But shouldn't the PAT code change the memtype if vm_insert_pfn_prot requests it? Or are there no callers that actually need that? (HPET doesn't, because there's a plain old ioremapped mapping.) --Andy -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx.
