Toshi Kani b73522e0c1 x86/mm/mtrr: Enhance MTRR checks in kernel mapping helpers ... This patch adds the argument 'uniform' to mtrr_type_lookup(), which gets set to 1 when a given range is covered uniformly by MTRRs, i.e. the range is fully covered by a single MTRR entry or the default type. Change pud_set_huge() and pmd_set_huge() to honor the 'uniform' flag to see if it is safe to create a huge page mapping in the range. This allows them to create a huge page mapping in a range covered by a single MTRR entry of any memory type. It also detects a non-optimal request properly. They continue to check with the WB type since it does not effectively change the uniform mapping even if a request spans multiple MTRR entries. pmd_set_huge() logs a warning message to a non-optimal request so that driver writers will be aware of such a case. Drivers should make a mapping request aligned to a single MTRR entry when the range is covered by MTRRs.
