Therefore, this patch should not be necessary. Unless you can show me where in the UltraSPARC documentation it states that the uTLB is used for data accesses, I am not applying this patch :) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe sparclinux" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

SPARC v9: __tsb_context_switch - demap old tsb_map_vaddr --- When TSB context switches in the function switch_mm() the following situation could occur. We have old mapping between physical address and tsb_map_vaddr in uTLB, and new mapping is written in fDTLB. Because uDTLB has more priority than fDTLB, all transformations occur through it, and TSB Pointer in tl0_damiss will be formed with the wrong physical address. To prevent this, we need to flush old tsb_map_vaddr (TSB_BASE) in TLB. Kernel version 2.6.35.7.
