I do find this puzzling because I naively expected pgprot_noncached() to match up with ioremap_nocache(), and apparently it doesn't. For example, ARM64 ioremap_nocache() uses PROT_DEVICE_nGnRE, which doesn't match the MT_DEVICE_nGnRnE in pgprot_noncached(). The point of these patches is to use non-posted mappings. Apparently you can do that with pgprot_noncached() here, but ioremap_nocache() isn't enough for the config space mappings? I suppose that's a consequence of the pgprot_noncached() vs ioremap_nocache() mismatch, but this is all extremely confusing. > #else > /* this architecture does not have memory mapped I/O space, > so this function should never be called */ > -- > 2.10.0 > > > _______________________________________________ > linux-arm-kernel mailing list > linux-arm-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-arm-kernel
