From 9a58eebe1ace609bedf8c5a65e70a097459f5696 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Toshi Kani Date: Thu, 16 Jul 2015 17:23:15 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] x86/mm: Remove region_is_ram() call from ioremap __ioremap_caller() calls region_is_ram() to walk through the iomem_resource table to check if a target range is in RAM, which was added to improve the lookup performance over page_is_ram() (commit 906e36c5c717 "x86: use optimized ioresource lookup in ioremap function"). page_is_ram() was no longer used when this change was added, though. __ioremap_caller() then calls walk_system_ram_range(), which had replaced page_is_ram() to improve the lookup performance (commit c81c8a1eeede "x86, ioremap: Speed up check for RAM pages"). Since both checks walk through the same iomem_resource table for the same purpose, there is no need to call both functions. Aside of that walk_system_ram_range() is the only useful check at the moment because region_is_ram() always returns -1 due to an implementation bug. That bug in region_is_ram() cannot be fixed without breaking existing ioremap callers, which rely on the subtle difference of walk_system_ram_range() versus non page aligned ranges. Once these offending callers are fixed we can use region_is_ram() and remove walk_system_ram_range().
