From ce6234b5298902aaec831a67d5f8d9bd2ef5a488 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge Date: Wed, 2 May 2007 19:27:15 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] i386: PARAVIRT: add kmap_atomic_pte for mapping highpte pages Xen and VMI both have special requirements when mapping a highmem pte page into the kernel address space. These can be dealt with by adding a new kmap_atomic_pte() function for mapping highptes, and hooking it into the paravirt_ops infrastructure. Xen specifically wants to map the pte page RO, so this patch exposes a helper function, kmap_atomic_prot, which maps the page with the specified page protections. This also adds a kmap_flush_unused() function to clear out the cached kmap mappings. Xen needs this to clear out any potential stray RW mappings of pages which will become part of a pagetable. [ Zach - vmi.c will need some attention after this patch. It wasn't immediately obvious to me what needs to be done. ] Signed-off-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen Cc: Zachary Amsden --- include/linux/highmem.h | 6 ++++++ 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+) (limited to 'include/linux/highmem.h') diff --git a/include/linux/highmem.h b/include/linux/highmem.h index 645d440807c2..bca8e2dfa355 100644 --- a/include/linux/highmem.h +++ b/include/linux/highmem.h @@ -27,6 +27,8 @@ static inline void flush_kernel_dcache_page(struct page *page) unsigned int nr_free_highpages(void); extern unsigned long totalhigh_pages; +void kmap_flush_unused(void); + #else /* CONFIG_HIGHMEM */ static inline unsigned int nr_free_highpages(void) { return 0; } @@ -44,9 +46,13 @@ static inline void *kmap(struct page *page) #define kmap_atomic(page, idx) \ ({ pagefault_disable(); page_address(page); }) +#define kmap_atomic_prot(page, idx, prot) kmap_atomic(page, idx) + #define kunmap_atomic(addr, idx) do { pagefault_enable(); } while (0) #define kmap_atomic_pfn(pfn, idx) kmap_atomic(pfn_to_page(pfn), (idx)) #define kmap_atomic_to_page(ptr) virt_to_page(ptr) + +#define kmap_flush_unused() do {} while(0) #endif #endif /* CONFIG_HIGHMEM */ -- cgit v1.2.3
