From ade18c113ba4fb425969852f49e0dd6eb67dd3e5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dave Kleikamp Date: Tue, 18 Jun 2013 09:05:36 -0500 Subject: sparc: tsb must be flushed before tlb Upstream commit 23a01138efe216f8084cfaa74b0b90dd4b097441 This fixes a race where a cpu may re-load a tlb from a stale tsb right after it has been flushed by a remote function call. I still see some instability when stressing the system with parallel kernel builds while creating memory pressure by writing to /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages, but this patch improves the stability significantly.
