Subject: [PATCH 2/3] x86/devmem: remove phys_mem_access_prot_allowed()
Date: Tue, 20 May 2025 17:20:29 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250520152030.1499670-2-arnd@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250520152030.1499670-1-arnd@kernel.org>
From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
phys_mem_access_prot_allowed() was originally a workaround for
certain 32-bit CPUs, but after commit 1886297ce0c8 ("x86/mm/pat:
Fix BUG_ON() in mmap_mem() on QEMU/i386"), it no longer does anything
special as the only remaining bit now is the same logic that follows in
phys_mem_access_prot(), mapping everything as normal memory except when
either O_DSYNC is set or the address is highmem.
Just remove the thing entirely.
