From 7139bc1579901b53db7e898789e916ee2fb52d78 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: John David Anglin Date: Mon, 14 Jan 2013 19:45:00 -0500 Subject: [PARISC] Purge existing TLB entries in set_pte_at and ptep_set_wrprotect MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit This patch goes a long way toward fixing the minifail bug, and it  significantly improves the stability of SMP machines such as the rp3440.  When write  protecting a page for COW, we need to purge the existing translation.  Otherwise, the COW break doesn't occur as expected because the TLB may still have a stale entry which allows writes.
