Subject: [PATCH for 2.6.22] [8/10] x86: change_page_attr bandaids
Date: Wed, 20 Jun 2007 12:23:36 +0200 (CEST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070620102337.0730614AD0@wotan.suse.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <200706201223.443613000@suse.de>


- Disable CLFLUSH again; it is still broken. Always do WBINVD.
- Always flush in the i386 case, not only when there are deferred pages.

These are both brute-force inefficient fixes, to be improved
next release cycle.

The changes to i386 are a little more extensive than strictly 
needed (some dead code added), but it is more similar to the x86-64 version 
now and the dead code will be used soon.
