    x86, pat: separate the pfn attribute tracking for remap_pfn_range and vm_insert_pfn · 5180da41
    Suresh Siddha authored
    With PAT enabled, vm_insert_pfn() looks up the existing pfn memory
    attribute and uses it.  Expectation is that the driver reserves the
    memory attributes for the pfn before calling vm_insert_pfn().
    
    remap_pfn_range() (when called for the whole vma) will setup a new
    attribute (based on the prot argument) for the specified pfn range.
    This addresses the legacy usage which typically calls remap_pfn_range()
    with a desired memory attribute.  For ranges smaller than the vma size
    (which is typically not the case), remap_pfn_range() will use the
    existing memory attribute for the pfn range.
    
    Expose two different API's for these different behaviors.
    track_pfn_insert() for tracking the pfn attribute set by vm_insert_pfn()
    and track_pfn_remap() for the remap_pfn_range().
    
    This cleanup also prepares the ground for the track/untrack pfn vma
    routines to take over the ownership of setting PAT specific vm_flag in
    the 'vma'.
