Date: Fri, 2 Oct 2009 05:35:08 +0200 From: Andi Kleen <andi@...stfloor.org> To: x86@...nel.org, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Cc: venkatesh.pallipadi@...el.com, stable@...nel.org Subject: [PATCH] x86: Use ioremap_cache() for crash dump copies During code review I noticed that when reading the previous kernel memory from a kdump kernel ioremap() is used. This was ok before the PAT changes, but with PAT ioremap() this results in an uncached mapping, which is very slow. Change it to ioremap_cache(). This is fine because this code only reads real memory, no IO mappings. I haven't run numbers, but I suspect this will speed up crash dumping somewhat. Only affects 64bit, 32bit uses a different method. Might be a stable candidate.
