From 1745cbc5d0dee0749a6bc0ea8e872c5db0074061 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andy Lutomirski Date: Tue, 29 Dec 2015 20:12:20 -0800 Subject: mm: Add vm_insert_pfn_prot() The x86 vvar vma contains pages with differing cacheability flags. x86 currently implements this by manually inserting all the ptes using (io_)remap_pfn_range when the vma is set up. x86 wants to move to using .fault with VM_FAULT_NOPAGE to set up the mappings as needed. The correct API to use to insert a pfn in .fault is vm_insert_pfn(), but vm_insert_pfn() can't override the vma's cache mode, and the HPET page in particular needs to be uncached despite the fact that the rest of the VMA is cached. Add vm_insert_pfn_prot() to support varying cacheability within the same non-COW VMA in a more sane manner. x86 could alternatively use multiple VMAs, but that's messy, would break CRIU, and would create unnecessary VMAs that would waste memory.
