Subject: [PATCH v12 3/10] x86, asm: Change is_new_memtype_allowed() for WT
Date: Mon,  1 Jun 2015 13:36:26 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1433187393-22688-4-git-send-email-toshi.kani@hp.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1433187393-22688-1-git-send-email-toshi.kani@hp.com>

__ioremap_caller() calls reserve_memtype() to set new_pcm
(existing map type if any), and then calls
is_new_memtype_allowed() to verify if converting to new_pcm
is allowed when pcm (request type) is different from new_pcm.

When WT is requested, the caller expects that writes are
ordered and uncached.  Therefore, this patch changes
is_new_memtype_allowed() to disallow the following cases.

 - If the request is WT, mapping type cannot be WB
 - If the request is WT, mapping type cannot be WC
