Subject: [PATCH][2.5] flush_tlb_all is not preempt safe in x86_64 and i386/mach-voyager
Date: Thu, 20 Feb 2003 11:55:26 +0100	[thread overview]

This patch is based on Changeset 1.914.160.6.
It solves the flush_tlb_all preempt-issue for x86_64 and the i386/mach-voyager subarchitecture.

Best regards
  Thomas Schlichter

P.S.: Wouldn't it even have been possible to solve this problem just by swapping the original two lines?
