From: Benjamin LaHaise Date: Tue, 12 Jul 2005 20:58:22 +0000 (-0700) Subject: [PATCH] uml: tlb flushing fix X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c40504e87e28c52258458a53fefcd63f58e11a42;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_samsung_universal7580.git [PATCH] uml: tlb flushing fix This patch fixes a fairly serious tlb flushing bug that makes aio use under uml very unreliable -- SEGVs, Oops and panic()s occur as a result of stale tlb entires being used by uml when aio switches mms due to the fact that uml does not implement the activate_mm() hook. This patch introduces a simple but correct approach (read: hammer) for implementing activate_mm() in uml by doing a force_flush_all() if the new mm is different from old. With this patch in place, uml is able to succeed at the aio test case that was randomly faulting for me before.
