2006-12-13[PATCH] uml problems with linux/io.hAl Viro1-1/+0
Remove useless includes of linux/io.h, don't even try to build iomap_copy on uml (it doesn't have readb() et.al., so...)

2006-10-01[PATCH] Generic ioremap_page_range: flush_cache_vmapHaavard Skinnemoen1-3/+1
The existing implementation of ioremap_page_range(), which was taken from i386, does this: flush_cache_all(); /* modify page tables */ flush_tlb_all(); I think this is a bit defensive, so this patch changes the generic implementation to do: /* modify page tables */ flush_cache_vmap(start, end); instead, which is similar to what vmalloc() does. This should still be correct because we never modify existing PTEs. According to James Bottomley: The problem the flush_tlb_all() is trying to solve is to avoid stale tlb entries in the ioremap area. We're just being conservative by flushing on both map and unmap. Technically what vmalloc/vfree does (only flush the tlb on unmap) is just fine because it means that the only tlb entries in the remap area must belong to in-use mappings.

2006-10-01[PATCH] Generic ioremap_page_range: implementationHaavard Skinnemoen1-0/+94
This patch adds a generic implementation of ioremap_page_range() in lib/ioremap.c based on the i386 implementation. It differs from the i386 version in the following ways: * The PTE flags are passed as a pgprot_t argument and must be determined up front by the arch-specific code. No additional PTE flags are added. * Uses set_pte_at() instead of set_pte() [bunk@stusta.de: warning fix] ]dhowells@redhat.com: nommu build fix] Signed-off-by: Haavard Skinnemoen <hskinnemoen@atmel.com> Cc: Richard Henderson <rth@twiddle.net> Cc: Ivan Kokshaysky <ink@jurassic.park.msu.ru> Cc: Russell King <rmk@arm.linux.org.uk> Cc: Mikael Starvik <starvik@axis.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Cc: <linux-m32r@ml.linux-m32r.org> Cc: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@parisc-linux.org> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org> Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk <bunk@stusta.de> Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
