MIPS 4KEc with 2.6.15

[Jorgen Lundman <lundman@lundman.net>]

Hello list,

I have an embedded device running 2.6.15 kernel on a MIPS 4KEc 300MHz 
CPU. It was configured for Sigma's tango2 board, which I know nothing 
about, so I picked a mips-board by random, "atlas", and found I can 
produce working kernel module compiles.

However, when I compiled FUSE kernel module, it behaves erratically in a 
way making the FUSE developer think I may have come across the cache 
coherency bug in arm and mips, fixed sometime around 2.6.17.

Since I can not change the kernel that is running, I was looking for 
alternate solutions. FUSE itself has a work around, that calls 
flush_cache_page(), but I found that mips-board atlas does not have this 
defined:

fuse: Unknown symbol flush_cache_page

Should I try other mips-boards that may have this function call defined? 
Do I have other ways to avoid the cache coherence bug?

The /proc/ksyms is gone, so I do not think I am able to check what 
symbols their kernel has.

Lund
