* memremap: fix highmem supportDan Williams2015-10-261-2/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently memremap checks if the range is "System RAM" and returns the kernel linear address. This is broken for highmem platforms where a range may be "System RAM", but is not part of the kernel linear mapping. Fallback to ioremap_cache() in these cases, to let the arch code attempt to handle it. Note that ARM ioremap will WARN when attempting to remap ram, and in that case the caller needs to be fixed. For this reason, existing ioremap_cache() usages for ARM are already trained to avoid attempts to remap ram. The impact of this bug is low for now since the pmem driver is the only user of memremap(), but this is important to fix before more conversions to memremap arrive in 4.4. Cc: Rafael J.

| | | | | | | | | This behaves like devm_memremap except that it ensures we have page structures available that can back the region. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> [djbw: catch attempts to remap RAM, drop flags] Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>

* arch: introduce memremap()Dan Williams2015-08-141-0/+98
Existing users of ioremap_cache() are mapping memory that is known in advance to not have i/o side effects. These users are forced to cast away the __iomem annotation, or otherwise neglect to fix the sparse errors thrown when dereferencing pointers to this memory. Provide memremap() as a non __iomem annotated ioremap_*() in the case when ioremap is otherwise a pointer to cacheable memory. Empirically, ioremap_<cacheable-type>() call sites are seeking memory-like semantics (e.g. speculative reads, and prefetching permitted). memremap() is a break from the ioremap implementation pattern of adding a new memremap_<type>() for each mapping type and having silent compatibility fall backs. Instead, the implementation defines flags that are passed to the central memremap() and if a mapping type is not supported by an arch memremap returns NULL. We introduce a memremap prototype as a trivial wrapper of ioremap_cache() and ioremap_wt(). Later, once all ioremap_cache() and ioremap_wt() usage has been removed from drivers we teach archs to implement arch_memremap() with the ability to strictly enforce the mapping type.
