This patchset enhances MTRR checks for the kernel huge I/O mapping, which was enabled by the patchset below: https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/3/3/589 The following functional changes are made in patch 7/7. - Allow pud_set_huge() and pmd_set_huge() to create a huge page mapping to a range covered by a single MTRR entry of any memory type. - Log a pr_warn() message when a specified PMD map range spans more than a single MTRR entry. Drivers should make a mapping request aligned to a single MTRR entry when the range is covered by MTRRs. Patch 1/7 addresses other review comments to the mapping funcs for better code read-ability. Patch 2/7 - 6/7 are bug fixes and clean up to mtrr_type_lookup(). The patchset is based on the -mm tree. --- v4: - Update the change logs of patchset. (Ingo Molnar) - Add patch 3/7 to make the wrong address fix as a separate patch. (Ingo Molnar) - Add patch 5/7 to define MTRR_TYPE_INVALID. (Ingo Molnar) - Update patch 6/7 to document MTRR fixed ranges. (Ingo Molnar) v3: - Add patch 3/5 to fix a bug in MTRR state checks. - Update patch 4/5 to create separate functions for the fixed and variable entries. (Ingo Molnar) v2: - Update change logs and comments per review comments. (Ingo Molnar) - Add patch 3/4 to clean up mtrr_type_lookup().
