      Fix up CIFS for "test_clear_page_dirty()" removal · cb876f45

      This also adds he required page "writeback" flag handling, that cifs
      hasn't been doing and that the page dirty flag changes made obvious.

      [PATCH] arch/i386/pci/mmconfig.c tlb flush fix · 8d1c4819
      OGAWA Hirofumi 提交于
      We use the fixmap for accessing pci config space in pci_mmcfg_read/write().
      The problem is in pci_exp_set_dev_base(). It is caching a last
      accessed address to avoid calling set_fixmap_nocache() whenever
      pci_mmcfg_read/write() is used.
      
        static inline void pci_exp_set_dev_base(int bus, int devfn)
        {
      	u32 dev_base = base | (bus << 20) | (devfn << 12);
      	if (dev_base != mmcfg_last_accessed_device) {
      		mmcfg_last_accessed_device = dev_base;
      		set_fixmap_nocache(FIX_PCIE_MCFG, dev_base);
      	}
        }
      
                  cpu0                                        cpu1
        ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
          pci_mmcfg_read("device-A")
              pci_exp_set_dev_base()
                  set_fixmap_nocache()
                                                    pci_mmcfg_read("device-B")
                                                        pci_exp_set_dev_base()
                                                            set_fixmap_nocache()
          pci_mmcfg_read("device-B")
              pci_exp_set_dev_base()
                  /* doesn't flush tlb */
      
      But if cpus accessed the above order, the second pci_mmcfg_read() on
      cpu0 doesn't flush the TLB, because "mmcfg_last_accessed_device" is
      device-B.  So, second pci_mmcfg_read() on cpu0 accesses a device-A via
      a previous TLB cache. This problem became the cause of several strange
      behavior.
      
      This patches fixes this situation by adds "mmcfg_last_accessed_cpu" check.
      
      [ Alternatively, we could make a per-cpu mapping area or something. Not
        that it's probably worth it, but if we wanted to avoid all locking and
        instead just disable preemption, that would be the way to go. --Linus ]
