    mm: uncached vma support with writenotify · c9d0bf24
    Magnus Damm authored
    Modify the generic mmap() code to keep the cache attribute in
    vma->vm_page_prot regardless if writenotify is enabled or not.  Without
    this patch the cache configuration selected by f_op->mmap() is overwritten
    if writenotify is enabled, making it impossible to keep the vma uncached.
    
    Needed by drivers such as drivers/video/sh_mobile_lcdcfb.c which uses
    deferred io together with uncached memory.
