From cf6387daf8858bdcb3e123034ca422e8979d73f1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joachim Deguara Date: Tue, 24 Apr 2007 13:05:36 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] x86-64: make GART PTEs uncacheable This patches fixes the silent data corruption problems being seen using the GART iommu where 4kB of data where incorrect (seen mostly on Nvidia CK804 systems). This fix, to mark the memory regin the GART PTEs reside on as uncacheable, also brings the code in line with the AGP specification.
