8 * The set_memory_* API can be used to change various attributes of a virtual
9 * address range. The attributes include:
10 * Cachability : UnCached, WriteCombining, WriteThrough, WriteBack
11 * Executability : eXeutable, NoteXecutable
12 * Read/Write : ReadOnly, ReadWrite
13 * Presence : NotPresent
15 * Within a category, the attributes are mutually exclusive.
17 * The implementation of this API will take care of various aspects that
18 * are associated with changing such attributes, such as:
20 * - Flushing CPU caches
21 * - Making sure aliases of the memory behind the mapping don't violate
22 * coherency rules as defined by the CPU in the system.
24 * What this API does not do:
25 * - Provide exclusion between various callers - including callers that
26 * operation on other mappings of the same physical page
27 * - Restore default attributes when a page is freed
28 * - Guarantee that mappings other than the requested one are
29 * in any state, other than that these do not violate rules for
30 * the CPU you have. Do not depend on any effects on other mappings,
31 * CPUs other than the one you have may have more relaxed rules.
32 * The caller is required to take care of these.

57 * For legacy compatibility with the old APIs, a few functions
58 * are provided that work on a "struct page".
59 * These functions operate ONLY on the 1:1 kernel mapping of the
60 * memory that the struct page represents, and internally just
61 * call the set_memory_* function. See the description of the
62 * set_memory_* function for more details on conventions.
64 * These APIs should be considered *deprecated* and are likely going to
65 * be removed in the future.
66 * The reason for this is the implicit operation on the 1:1 mapping only,
67 * making this not a generally useful API.
69 * Specifically, many users of the old APIs had a virtual address,
70 * called virt_to_page() or vmalloc_to_page() on that address to
71 * get a struct page* that the old API required.
72 * To convert these cases, use set_memory_*() on the original
73 * virtual address, do not use these functions.
