[PATCH] vesafb: Fix mtrr bugs
>> vesafb: mode is 800x600x16, linelength=1600, pages=16 >> vesafb: scrolling: redraw >> vesafb: Truecolor: size=0:5:6:5, shift=0:11:5:0 >> mtrr: type mismatch for fc000000,1000000 old: write-back new: write- >> combining Range is already set to write-back, vesafb attempts to add a write-combining mtrr (default for vesafb). >> mtrr: size and base must be multiples of 4 kiB This is a bug, vesafb attempts to add a size < PAGE_SIZE triggering the messages below. To eliminate the warning messages, you can add the option mtrr:2 to add a write-back mtrr for vesafb. Or just use nomtrr option. 1. Fix algorithm for finding the best power of 2 size with mtrr_add(). 2. Add option to choose the mtrr type by extending the mtrr boot option: mtrr:n where n 0 = no mtrr (equivalent to using the nomtrr option) 1 = uncachable 2 = write back 3 = write combining (default) 4 = write through Signed-off-by: Antonino Daplas <adaplas@pol.net> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
