Subject: [PATCH] powerpc: add the missing required isync for the coherent icache flush
Date: Thu, 15 Aug 2013 19:56:07 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1376567767-20620-1-git-send-email-haokexin@gmail.com> (raw)
Even we don't need to flush the dcache and invalidate the icache
on the CPU which has coherent icache. But we do need an isync to
discard the prefetched instructions in this case.
