[PATCH v2 6/7] x86, mm: Support huge I/O mappings on x86

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

 



This patch implements huge I/O mapping capability interfaces on x86.

IOREMAP_MAX_ORDER is defined to the size of PUD on X86_64 and PMD
on x86_32.  When IOREMAP_MAX_ORDER is not defined on x86, it is
defined to the generic value in <linux/vmalloc.h>.

On x86, the huge I/O mapping may not be used when a target range is
covered by multiple MTRRs with different memory types.  The caller
must make a separate request for each MTRR range, or the huge I/O
mapping can be disabled with the kernel boot option "nohugeiomap".
The detail of this issue is described in the email below, and this
patch takes option C) in favor of simplicity since MTRRs are legacy
feature.
