As I understand it, the difference between ioremap()/ioremap_nocache() and ioremap_uc() only exists on pre-PAT x86-32 systems (i.e. 486, P5, Ppro, PII, K6, VIA C3), while on more modern systems (all non-x86, PentiumIII, Athlon, VIA C7) those three are meant to be synonyms anyway.

That's not how I understood it. Based on the code and the UC- explanation ioremap_uc always overrides the MTRR, which can still be present on more modern x86 systems. In fact I remember a patch floating around very recently adding another ioremap_uc caller in some Atom platform device driver that works around buggy MTRR tables. Also this series actually adds a new override and a few callers for ia64 platform code, which works very similar to x86 based on the comments in the code. That being said I'm not sure the callers in ia64 are really required, but it was the safest thing to do as part of this cleanup.

As I understand, the point is that on PAT-enabled systems, the normal ioremap() *also* overrides the MTRR, citing from Documentation/x86/pat.rst: ==== ======= === ========================= ===================== MTRR Non-PAT PAT Linux ioremap value Effective memory type ==== ======= === ========================= ===================== PAT Non-PAT | PAT |PCD | ||PWT | ||| | WC 000 WB _PAGE_CACHE_MODE_WB WC | WC WC 001 WC _PAGE_CACHE_MODE_WC WC* | WC WC 010 UC- _PAGE_CACHE_MODE_UC_MINUS WC* | UC WC 011 UC _PAGE_CACHE_MODE_UC UC | UC ==== ======= === ========================= ===================== > In fact I remember a patch > floating around very recently adding another ioremap_uc caller in > some Atom platform device driver that works around buggy MTRR > tables.

Let's just go with your version for now, if only to not hold your series up more. I'd still suggest we change atyfb to only use ioremap_uc() on i386 and maybe ia64. I can send a patch for that. Arnd

But lets kick off a dicussion with the atyfb, x86 and ia64 maintainers after this series is in. Which was kinda my plan anyway.

I guess it doesn't hurt to discuss that in parallel. Anyway I think that this patch is the last one you want an Ack from me for (let me know if I missed one), so Reviewed-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

Whatever reason there is for the existence of ioremap_uc, and the fact that it returns NULL by default on architectures with an MMU applies equally to nommu architectures, so don't provide different defaults. In practice the difference is meaningless as the only portable driver that uses ioremap_uc is atyfb which probably doesn't show up on nommu devices.
