The driver was requesting for a writethrough mapping. But with thoses flags we will end up with a SAO mapping because we now have memory conherence always enabled. ie, the existing mapping will end up with a WIMG value 0b1110 which is Strong Access Order.
Update this to use cache inhibitted guarded mapping Cc: Mike Marciniszyn <infinip...@intel.com> Cc: Doug Ledford <dledf...@redhat.com> Cc: Sean Hefty <sean.he...@intel.com> Cc: Hal Rosenstock <hal.rosenst...@gmail.com> Cc: linux-r...@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Aneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.ku...@linux.vnet.ibm.com> --- Changes from v1: * resend because V1 never reached mailing list.
