Subject: [PATCH] [25/31] CPA: Always do full TLB flush when splitting large pages
Date: Mon, 14 Jan 2008 23:16:58 +0100 (CET)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080114221658.54C8C14F83@wotan.suse.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <200801141116.534682000@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.
