Subject: [PATCH 3/4] MIPS: Fix COW D-cache aliasing on fork
Date: Tue, 12 Dec 2006 17:14:56 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <11659437004086-git-send-email-ralf@linux-mips.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <11659436971966-git-send-email-ralf@linux-mips.org>
From: Atsushi Nemoto <anemo@mba.ocn.ne.jp>
Provide a custom copy_user_highpage() to deal with aliasing issues on
MIPS. It uses kmap_coherent() to map an user page for kernel with same
color. Rewrite copy_to_user_page() and copy_from_user_page() with the
new interfaces to avoid extra cache flushing.
The main part of this patch was originally written by Ralf Baechle;
Atushi Nemoto did the the debugging.
