Subject: [PATCH v6 15/16] x86/mm: only check uniform after calling mtrr_type_lookup()
Date:   Tue,  2 May 2023 14:09:30 +0200
Message-Id: <20230502120931.20719-16-jgross@suse.com>

Today pud_set_huge() and pmd_set_huge() test for the MTRR type to be
WB or INVALID after calling mtrr_type_lookup(). Those tests can be
dropped, as the only reason to not use a large mapping would be
uniform being 0. Any MTRR type can be accepted as long as it applies
to the whole memory range covered by the mapping, as the alternative
would only be to map the same region with smaller pages instead, using
the same PAT type as for the large mapping.
