Subject: [PATCH 2/5] x86: c_p_a clflush_cache_range fix
Date: Thu, 31 Jan 2008 15:36:02 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1201764962.12950.23.camel@caritas-dev.intel.com> (raw)
Because in i386 early boot stage, boot_cpu_data may be not available,
which makes clflush_cach_range() into infinite loop, which is called
by change_page_attr(). This patch fixes this by providing a default
clflush_size of 64. But the better method may be providing a
early_identify_cpu() for i386.
