Hi,
This is an updated version of the mspec driver (special memory
support), formerly known as fetchop.
With this version I have implemented a do_no_pfn() handler, similar to
the do_no_page() handler but for pages which are not backed by a
struct page. This avoids the trick used in earlier versions where the
driver was allocating a dumy page returning it back to the
do_no_page() handler which would the free it immediately. Hopefully
this addresses the main concern there were with this driver in the
past.
The reason for taking the do_no_pfn() approch rather than
remap_pfn_range() is that it needs to benefit from node locality of
the pages on NUMA systems.
While the driver is currently only used on SN2 hardware, it is placed
in drivers/char as it should be possible and beneficial for other
architectures to implement and use the uncached mode.
Please let me know if there are any objections or comments etc. to
this approach. If preferred I can split out the do_no_pfn part into a
seperate patch.
Cheers,
Jes

+ * SN Platform Special Memory (mspec) Support
+ *
+ * This driver exports the SN special memory (mspec) facility to user
+ * processes.
+ * There are three types of memory made available thru this driver:
+ * fetchops, uncached and cached.
+ *
+ * Fetchops are atomic memory operations that are implemented in the
+ * memory controller on SGI SN hardware.
+ *
+ * Uncached are used for memory write combining feature of the ia64
+ * cpu.
+ *
+ * Cached are used for areas of memory that are used as cached addresses
+ * on our partition and used as uncached addresses from other partitions.
+ * Due to a design constraint of the SN2 Shub, you can not have processors
+ * on the same FSB perform both a cached and uncached reference to the
+ * same cache line. These special memory cached regions prevent the
+ * kernel from ever dropping in a TLB entry and therefore prevent the
+ * processor from ever speculating a cache line from this page.
