[PATCH] uml problems with linux/io.h

2006-12-13T17:05:52Z

Remove useless includes of linux/io.h, don't even try to build iomap_copy on uml (it doesn't have readb() et.al., so...) Signed-off-by: Al Viro Acked-by: Jeff Dike Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] Generic ioremap_page_range: flush_cache_vmap

2006-10-01T07:39:31Z

The existing implementation of ioremap_page_range(), which was taken from i386, does this: flush_cache_all(); /* modify page tables */ flush_tlb_all(); I think this is a bit defensive, so this patch changes the generic implementation to do: /* modify page tables */ flush_cache_vmap(start, end); instead, which is similar to what vmalloc() does. This should still be correct because we never modify existing PTEs. According to James Bottomley: The problem the flush_tlb_all() is trying to solve is to avoid stale tlb entries in the ioremap area. We're just being conservative by flushing on both map and unmap. Technically what vmalloc/vfree does (only flush the tlb on unmap) is just fine because it means that the only tlb entries in the remap area must belong to in-use mappings.

[PATCH] Generic ioremap_page_range: implementation

2006-10-01T07:39:31Z

This patch adds a generic implementation of ioremap_page_range() in lib/ioremap.c based on the i386 implementation. It differs from the i386 version in the following ways: * The PTE flags are passed as a pgprot_t argument and must be determined up front by the arch-specific code. No additional PTE flags are added. * Uses set_pte_at() instead of set_pte() [bunk@stusta.de: warning fix] ]dhowells@redhat.com: nommu build fix] Signed-off-by: Haavard Skinnemoen Cc: Richard Henderson Cc: Ivan Kokshaysky Cc: Russell King Cc: Mikael Starvik Cc: Andi Kleen Cc: Cc: Ralf Baechle Cc: Kyle McMartin Cc: Martin Schwidefsky Cc: Paul Mundt Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk Signed-off-by: David Howells Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
