Subject: [PATCH 6/6] x86/mtrr: drop sanity check in mtrr_type_lookup_fixed()
Date: Tue, 7 Feb 2023 08:29:02 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230207072902.5528-7-jgross@suse.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230207072902.5528-1-jgross@suse.com>
mtrr_type_lookup_fixed() contains a sanity check for the case it is
being called with a start address above 1 MB. As it is static and it
is called only iff the start address is below 1MB, this sanity check
can be dropped.
This will remove the last case where mtrr_type_lookup() can return
MTRR_TYPE_INVALID, so adjust the comment in include/uapi/asm/mtrr.h.
Note that removing the MTRR_TYPE_INVALID #define from that header
could break user code, so it has to stay.
