This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled Purge existing TLB entries in set_pte_at and to the linux-3.5.y-queue branch of the 3.5.y.z extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.5.y-queue If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.5.y.z tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Luis ------ From 2d65a71d04475edf0fac5fca580496639ded46e1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: John David Anglin <dave.anglin@bell.net> Date: Mon, 14 Jan 2013 19:45:00 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] Purge existing TLB entries in set_pte_at and ptep_set_wrprotect MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit commit 7139bc1579901b53db7e898789e916ee2fb52d78 upstream. This patch goes a long way toward fixing the minifail bug, and it significantly improves the stability of SMP machines such as the rp3440. When write protecting a page for COW, we need to purge the existing translation. Otherwise, the COW break doesn't occur as expected because the TLB may still have a stale entry which allows writes.
