Subject: [PATCH 2/6] x86/pat: check for MTRRs enabled in memtype_reserve()
Date: Tue, 7 Feb 2023 08:28:58 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230207072902.5528-3-jgross@suse.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230207072902.5528-1-jgross@suse.com>
Today memtype_reserve() bails out early if pat_enabled() returns false.
The same can be done in case MTRRs aren't enabled.
This will reinstate the behavior of memtype_reserve() before commit
72cbc8f04fe2 ("x86/PAT: Have pat_enabled() properly reflect state when
running on Xen"). There have been reports about that commit breaking
SEV-SNP guests under Hyper-V, which was tried to be resolved by commit
90b926e68f50 ("x86/pat: Fix pat_x_mtrr_type() for MTRR disabled case"),
but that again resulted in problems with Xen PV guests.
Fixes: 72cbc8f04fe2 ("x86/PAT: Have pat_enabled() properly reflect state when running on Xen")
Fixes: 90b926e68f50 ("x86/pat: Fix pat_x_mtrr_type() for MTRR disabled case")
