Subject: [PATCH] initialise cpu_vm_mask in init_mm
Date: Wed, 21 Jan 2004 15:27:04 +1100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20040121042704.GB4372@krispykreme> (raw)
Hi,
Some architectures use cpu_vm_mask to optimise TLB flushes. On ppc64 we
are now using a common flush infrastructure that handles both userspace
and kernelspace (vmalloc) pages. In order to avoid triggering this
optimisation we need to mark the init mm as having scheduled on all
cpus.
Things currently work by luck (we check for the cpu only having run on
the local cpu, and the field is initialised to 0), but it would be safer
to initialise it CPU_MASK_ALL.
Anton
