From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Dave Kleikamp Date: Tue, 18 Jun 2013 14:05:36 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] sparc: tsb must be flushed before tlb Message-Id: <51C06930.3050800@oracle.com> List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: sparclinux@vger.kernel.org This fixes a race where a cpu may re-load a tlb from a stale tsb right after it has been flushed by a remote function call. I still see some instability when stressing the system with parallel kernel builds while creating memory pressure by writing to /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages, but this patch improves the stability significantly.
