Subject: [PATCH][for 2.6.28] powerpc/fsl-booke: Fix problem with _tlbil_va being interrupted
Date: Sat, 13 Dec 2008 17:33:03 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1229211183-5350-1-git-send-email-galak@kernel.crashing.org> (raw)
An example calling sequence which we did see:
copy_user_highpage -> kmap_atomic -> flush_tlb_page -> _tlbil_va
We got interrupted after setting up the MAS registers before the
tlbwe and the interrupt handler that caused the interrupt also did
a kmap_atomic (ide code) and thus on returning from the interrupt
the MAS registers no longer contained the proper values.
Since we dont save/restore MAS registers for normal interrupts we
need to disable interrupts in _tlbil_va to ensure atomicity.
