Subject: [PATCH] x86/PAT: priority the PAT warn to error to highlight the developer
Date: Sun, 29 Sep 2019 15:20:31 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190929072032.14195-1-jun.zhang@intel.com> (raw)

From: zhang jun <jun.zhang@intel.com>

Documentation/x86/pat.txt says:
set_memory_uc() or set_memory_wc() must use together with set_memory_wb()

if break the PAT attribute, there are tons of warning like:
[   45.846872] x86/PAT: NDK MediaCodec_:3753 map pfn RAM range req
write-combining for [mem 0x1e7a80000-0x1e7a87fff], got write-back
and in the extremely case, we see kernel panic unexpected like:
list_del corruption. prev->next should be ffff88806dbe69c0,
but was ffff888036f048c0

so it's better to priority the warn to error to highlight to
remind the developer.
