| Series | m68k: mm: Remove check for VM_IO to fix deferred I/O | expand |
Hi Geert, for hwregs_present(), the exception fixup will handle any access error (through send_fault_sig()), so this should continue to work. Why the special handling of VM_IO pages? Maybe hp300 had marked all IO register pages VM_IO to distinguish IO faults from VM faults... The only other area I can imagine this might have an impact is the Mac's pseudo-DMA - FInn might want to give this some testing.

They rely on head.S: mmu_map_eq #0x50000000,#0x03000000,%d3 Having said that, I will run some tests if you still think it necessary.

Hi Geert, testing this patch on my Falcon 030, I'm seeing a weird error checking and mounting the root filesystem (pata-falcon). The system appears to sit idle, never completing the journal recovery and mount. Still investigating that. Can't see how that would be caused by your patch, just saying I could not yet test it.

Belay that - not related to your patch, must be some other regression since v5.16 that I'm seeing there. Just ignore the noise ...

When an application accesses a mapped frame buffer backed by deferred I/O, it receives a segmentation fault. Fix this by removing the check for VM_IO in do_page_fault(). Signed-off-by: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert@linux-m68k.org> --- This check was never present in a fault handler on any other architecture than m68k. Some digging revealed that it was added in v2.1.106, but I couldn't find an email with a patch adding it. That same kernel version extended the use of the hwreg_present() helper to HP9000/300, so the check might have been needed there, perhaps only during development? The Atari kernel relies heavily on hwreg_present() (both the success and failure cases), and these still work, at least on ARAnyM. --- arch/m68k/mm/fault.c | 2 -- 1 file changed, 2 deletions(-)
