Subject: [PATCH] parisc: fix cache-flushing
Date: Fri, 31 Jan 2014 21:33:17 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140131203317.GA1222@p100.box> (raw)
This commit:
f8dae00684d678afa13041ef170cecfd1297ed40: parisc: Ensure full cache coherency for kmap/kunmap
caused negative caching side-effects, e.g. hanging processes with expect and
too many inequivalent alias messages from flush_dcache_page() on Debian 5 systems.
This patch now partly reverts it and has been in production use on our debian buildd
makeservers since a week without any major problems.
