Since72cbc8f04f("x86/PAT: Have pat_enabled() properly reflect state when running on Xen") PAT can be enabled without MTRR. This has resulted in problems e.g. for a SEV-SNP guest running under Hyper-V, when trying to establish a new mapping via memremap() with WB caching mode, as pat_x_mtrr_type() will call mtrr_type_lookup(), which in turn is returning MTRR_TYPE_INVALID due to MTRR being disabled in this configuration. The result is a mapping with UC- caching, leading to severe performance degradation. Fix that by handling MTRR_TYPE_INVALID the same way as MTRR_TYPE_WRBACK in pat_x_mtrr_type() because MTRR_TYPE_INVALID means MTRRs are disabled.

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.
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.
