Subject: [PATCH] sh: get_user_pages_fast() must flush cache the way
Date: Thu, 28 Aug 2014 12:56:41 +0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <53FEEEC9.5090403@list.ru> (raw)
Hi Andrew, could you please apply?
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=# Don't remove this line #=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
This patch avoids fuse hangs on sh4 by flushing the cache on
get_user_pages_fast(). This is not necessary a good thing to do,
but get_user_pages() does this, so get_user_pages_fast() should too.
Please note the patch for mips arch that addresses the similar problem:
https://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ralf/linux/+/linux-3.4.50%5E!/#F0
They basically simply disable get_user_pages_fast() at all, using a
fall-back to get_user_pages(). But my fix is different, it adds an
explicit cache flushes.
