From: "Luis R. Rodriguez" <mcgrof@suse.com>

This driver already makes use of ioremap_wc() on PIO buffers,
so convert it to use arch_phys_wc_add().

The qib driver uses a mmap() special case for when PAT is
not used, this behaviour used to be determined with a
module parameter but since we have been asked to just
remove that module parameter this checks for the WC cookie,
if not set we can assume PAT was used. If its set we do
what we used to do for the mmap for when MTRR was enabled.

The removal of the module parameter is OK given that Andy
notes that even if users of module parameter are still around
it will not prevent loading of the module on recent kernels.

This is a small change in behavior, but it doesn't seem important..

Mike, what do you think about adding:

 if (dd->wc_cookie)
    dev_err(.., "Using this device without CPU PAT support is known to be broken");

or similar..

don't agree on what wc_cookie will be on error.

Can you elaborate? The one below is the one that starts things,
and arch_phys_wc_add() will return 0 on PAT systems. For non-PAT
systems it will return a number > 0 *iff* a valid MTRR was added.
It will return negative onloy on error then.

The change above is meant to replace a check put in place to see
if PAT was enabled. The way we replace this is to ensure that
arch_phys_wc_add() returned 0.

If you disagree it'd be great if you can elaborate why.

Maybe I'm missing something, but in qib_enable_wc() you store the return
from arch_phys_wc_add into wc_cookie.  That return is negative, so you
return from qib_enable_wc() to qib_init_one(), they see the ret value,
they print out a warning about bad performance, then they clear the
return value and continue with device initialization.

In all of this though, wc_cookie is never cleared and so it still has
the error condition in it.  Then, much later at run time, you call
mmap_piobufs() and you check the contents of wc_cookie, and if it's
non-0 (which is still will be), you do the wrong thing, right?  And what
about at shutdown when you call qib_disable_wc() and your cookie still
has an error code in it as well?

If and only if the system was non-PAT and mtrr_add() failed.

Originally the code had it to run pgprot_writecombine() if PAT was going to be
used. After the code changes we check for !cookie which will be true when
cookie is 0 only. In case the cookie was an error, that is if mtrr_add()
failed, then this code would not run because (!negative) is false. The goal was
to trigger a run if the cookie was 0, which can only happen if PAT was enabled.

Please let me know, I'd like to get this right too.

Well fortunately arch_phys_wc_del(negative) and arch_phys_wc_del(0) will be
a no-op. Its what helps us remove so much clutter.

OK, the logic works, but as much as anything, it's the comment that's
misleading.  The code would be clearer with a comment like this:

/* We used PAT if wc_cookie == 0 */
if (!dd->wc_cookie) {

That would be more accurate as well since the original comment didn't
account for the possible error code in wc_cookie, so it's possible you
didn't use either PAT or wc if you have that error code.

OK.

Fair enough, will send a v5 follow up with the comment enhanced,
but will leave the first patch in this series as-is.
