Subject: [PATCH CPA] [25/28] CPA: Always do full TLB flush when splitting large pages
Date: Thu, 3 Jan 2008 16:24:40 +0100 (CET) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080103152440.8839714E23@wotan.suse.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20080103424.989432000@suse.de>
Various CPUs have errata when using INVLPG to flush large pages.
This includes Intel Penryn (AV2) and AMD K7 (#16 in Athlon 4)
While these happen only in specific circumstances it is still
a little risky and it's not clear the kernel can avoid them all.
Avoid this can of worms by always flushing the full TLB (but
not the full cache) when splitting a large page. This should
not be that expensive anyways and initial splitting should be
hopefully infrequent.
This also removes the previously hard coded workaround for K7
Athlon on 32bit.
