[PATCH 6.1 094/183] x86/pat: Fix pat_x_mtrr_type() for MTRR disabled case

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

 



From: Juergen Gross <jgross@xxxxxxxx>

commit 90b926e68f500844dff16b5bcea178dc55cf580a upstream.

Since

  72cbc8f04fe2 ("x86/PAT: Have pat_enabled() properly reflect state when running on Xen")

PAT can be enabled without MTRR.

This has resulted in problems e.g. for a SEV-SNP guest running under Hyper-V,
when trying to establish a new mapping via memremap() with WB caching mode, as
pat_x_mtrr_type() will call mtrr_type_lookup(), which in turn is returning
MTRR_TYPE_INVALID due to MTRR being disabled in this configuration.

The result is a mapping with UC- caching, leading to severe performance
degradation.

Fix that by handling MTRR_TYPE_INVALID the same way as MTRR_TYPE_WRBACK
in pat_x_mtrr_type() because MTRR_TYPE_INVALID means MTRRs are disabled.
