Subject: [24/29] x86/PCI/PAT: return EINVAL for pci mmap WC request for !pat_enabled
Date: Fri, 22 Jan 2010 16:10:08 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100123001113.274779432@mini.kroah.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20100123001145.GA7391@kroah.com>

From: Suresh Siddha <suresh.b.siddha@intel.com>

commit 2992e545ea006992ec9dc91c4fa996ce1e15f921 upstream.

Thomas Schlichter reported:
> X.org uses libpciaccess which tries to mmap with write combining enabled via
> /sys/bus/pci/devices/*/resource0_wc. Currently, when PAT is not enabled, the

> ;-(

Instead of silently mapping pci mmap region as UC minus in the case
of !pat_enabled and wc request, we can return error. Eric Anholt mentioned
that caller (like X) typically follows up with UC minus pci mmap request and
if there is a free mtrr slot, caller will manage adding WC mtrr.

Jesse Barnes says:
> Older versions of libpciaccess will behave better if we do it that way
> (iirc it only allocates an MTRR if the resource_wc file doesn't exist or
> fails to get mapped).
