Previously we assumed two 4-byte writes to the same PTE coming in sequence. But recently we observed inconsecutive partial write happening as well. So this patch enhances the previous solution. It now uses a list to save more partial writes. If one partial write can be combined with another one in the list to construct a full PTE, update its shadow entry. Otherwise, save the partial write in the list. v2: invalidate old entry and flush ggtt (Zhenyu) v3: split old ggtt page unmap to another patch (Zhenyu) v4: refine codes (Zhenyu) Signed-off-by: Hang Yuan <hang.yuan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Yan Zhao <yan.y.zhao@intel.com> Cc: Xiaolin Zhang <xiaolin.zhang@intel.com> Cc: Zhenyu Wang <zhenyu.z.wang@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Xiaolin Zhang <xiaolin.zhang@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Zhenyu Wang <zhenyuw@linux.intel.com>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
