Subject: [PATCH, RFC] fix parisc runtime hangs wrt pa_tlb_lock
Date: Fri, 22 May 2009 22:13:01 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4A17074D.30602@gmx.de> (raw)

Since many kernel versions I regularly faced reproducibly kernel hangs when
compiling some bigger files. The machine suddenly just seemed to hang.

With spinlock debugging turned on I found this:

BUG: spinlock recursion on CPU#0, tool/7263

The lock at "10644000" references pa_tlb_lock, which is used to lock the PxTLB 
broadcasts (see comment in cache.c).

So, I think we need to use the irq-blocking functions for purge_tlb_start() and
purge_tlb_end(). I did tested the patch below, and since then I didn't faced one
single hang any longer. 

The patch below is just a hack. It will need a cleanup and is just to open
discussions here on the list.
