From c78e710c1c9fbeff43dddc0aa3d0ff458e70b0cc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: John David Anglin Date: Tue, 6 Dec 2016 21:47:04 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] parisc: Purge TLB before setting PTE The attached change interchanges the order of purging the TLB and setting the corresponding page table entry. TLB purges are strongly ordered. It occurred to me one night that setting the PTE first might have subtle ordering issues on SMP machines and cause random memory corruption. A TLB lock guards the insertion of user TLB entries. So after the TLB is purged, a new entry can't be inserted until the lock is released. This ensures that the new PTE value is used when the lock is released. Since making this change, no random segmentation faults have been observed on the Debian hppa buildd servers.
