Subject: [PATCH 4.4 15/21] parisc: Fix race in pci-dma.c
Date: Wed, 30 Nov 2016 10:27:31 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20161130092655.631318879@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20161130092654.890709900@linuxfoundation.org>

4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: John David Anglin <dave.anglin@bell.net>

commit c0452fb9fb8f49c7d68ab9fa0ad092016be7b45f upstream.

We are still troubled by occasional random segmentation faults and
memory memory corruption on SMP machines.  The causes quite a few
package builds to fail on the Debian buildd machines for parisc.  When
gcc-6 failed to build three times in a row, I looked again at the TLB
related code.  I found a couple of issues.  This is the first.

In general, we need to ensure page table updates and corresponding TLB
purges are atomic.  The attached patch fixes an instance in pci-dma.c
where the page table update was not guarded by the TLB lock.

Tested on rp3440 and c8000.  So far, no further random segmentation
faults have been observed.
