    KVM: PPC: Allow I/O mappings in memory slots · 9d0ef5ea
    Paul Mackerras authored
    This provides for the case where userspace maps an I/O device into the
    address range of a memory slot using a VM_PFNMAP mapping.  In that
    case, we work out the pfn from vma->vm_pgoff, and record the cache
    enable bits from vma->vm_page_prot in two low-order bits in the
    slot_phys array entries.  Then, in kvmppc_h_enter() we check that the
    cache bits in the HPTE that the guest wants to insert match the cache
    bits in the slot_phys array entry.  However, we do allow the guest to
    create what it thinks is a non-cacheable or write-through mapping to
    memory that is actually cacheable, so that we can use normal system
    memory as part of an emulated device later on.  In that case the actual
    HPTE we insert is a cacheable HPTE.
