[PATCH v11 4/12] x86, mm, pat: Change reserve_memtype() for WT

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

 



From: Toshi Kani <toshi.kani@xxxxxx>

When a RAM range is requested to reserve_memtype(), it calls
reserve_ram_pages_type() to verify the requested type.
reserve_ram_pages_type() is changed to fail WT and WP requests
with -EINVAL since set_page_memtype() is limited to handle
three types, WB, WC and UC-.
