Subject: [PATCH] spufs: always map local store non-guarded
Date: Thu, 2 Nov 2006 13:46:48 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200611021346.49473.arnd@arndb.de> (raw)

When fixing spufs to map the 'mem' file backing store cacheable,
I incorrectly set the physical mapping to use both cache-inhibited
and guarded mapping, which resulted in a serious performance
degradation.

Accessing the real local store memory needs to be cache-inhibited,
in order to maintain data consistency, but since it is actual
RAM, there is no point in a guarded mapping.

This fixes a regression in 2.6.19, please merge.
