That leaves a window in time where # there is no valid PTE for the page, if another CPU tries to access the # page at that time we see something like the fault above. # # We can't simply switch to set_pte_at()/flush TLB, because our hash MMU # code doesn't handle a set_pte_at() of a valid PTE. See [1]. # # But we do have pte_update(), which replaces the old PTE with the new, # meaning there's no window where the PTE is invalid. And the hash MMU # version hash__pte_update() deals with synchronising the hash page table # correctly. # # [1]: https://lore.kernel.org/linuxppc-dev/87y318wp9r.fsf@linux.ibm.com/ # # Fixes: 1f9ad21c3b38 ("powerpc/mm: Implement set_memory() routines") # Reported-by: Laurent Vivier # Reviewed-by: Christophe Leroy # Reviewed-by: Murilo Opsfelder Araújo # Tested-by: Laurent Vivier # Signed-off-by: Fabiano Rosas # Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman # Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210818120518.3603172-1-mpe@ellerman.id.au # < /opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-5.5.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux-gcc --version # < /opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-5.5.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux-ld --version # < git log --format=%s --max-count=1 9f7853d7609d59172eecfc5e7ccf503bc1b690bd # < make -s -j 24 ARCH=powerpc O=/kisskb/build/powerpc-fixes_mpc86xx_defconfig_powerpc-gcc5 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-5.5.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux- mpc86xx_defconfig # < make -s -j 24 ARCH=powerpc O=/kisskb/build/powerpc-fixes_mpc86xx_defconfig_powerpc-gcc5 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-5.5.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux- help # make -s -j 24 ARCH=powerpc O=/kisskb/build/powerpc-fixes_mpc86xx_defconfig_powerpc-gcc5 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-5.5.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux- olddefconfig # make -s -j 24 ARCH=powerpc O=/kisskb/build/powerpc-fixes_mpc86xx_defconfig_powerpc-gcc5 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-5.5.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux- /kisskb/src/arch/powerpc/boot/dts/fsl/mvme7100.dts:135.22-137.4: Warning (pci_bridge): /pcie@f1008000: missing ranges for PCI bridge (or not a bridge) also defined at /kisskb/src/arch/powerpc/boot/dts/fsl/mpc8641si-post.dtsi:92.7-117.3 /kisskb/src/arch/powerpc/boot/dts/fsl/mpc8641si-post.dtsi:102.9-116.4: Warning (pci_bridge): /pcie@f1008000/pcie@0: missing ranges for PCI bridge (or not a bridge) /kisskb/src/arch/powerpc/boot/dts/fsl/mvme7100.dts:139.22-141.4: Warning (pci_bridge): /pcie@f1009000: missing ranges for PCI bridge (or not a bridge) also defined at /kisskb/src/arch/powerpc/boot/dts/fsl/mpc8641si-post.dtsi:119.7-144.3 /kisskb/src/arch/powerpc/boot/dts/fsl/mpc8641si-post.dtsi:129.9-143.4: Warning (pci_bridge): /pcie@f1009000/pcie@0: missing ranges for PCI bridge (or not a bridge) arch/powerpc/boot/dts/fsl/mvme7100.dtb: Warning (pci_device_bus_num): Failed prerequisite 'pci_bridge' /kisskb/src/arch/powerpc/boot/dts/fsl/mvme7100.dts:30.11-32.6: Warning (i2c_bus_reg): /soc@f1000000/i2c@3000/rtc@68: missing or empty reg property Completed OK # rm -rf /kisskb/build/powerpc-fixes_mpc86xx_defconfig_powerpc-gcc5 # Build took: 0:02:30.710278
