[PATCH] arch/i386/pci/mmconfig.c tlb flush fix
We use the fixmap for accessing pci config space in pci_mmcfg_read/write(). The problem is in pci_exp_set_dev_base(). It is caching a last accessed address to avoid calling set_fixmap_nocache() whenever pci_mmcfg_read/write() is used. static inline void pci_exp_set_dev_base(int bus, int devfn) { u32 dev_base = base | (bus << 20) | (devfn << 12); if (dev_base != mmcfg_last_accessed_device) { mmcfg_last_accessed_device = dev_base; set_fixmap_nocache(FIX_PCIE_MCFG, dev_base); } } cpu0 cpu1 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- pci_mmcfg_read("device-A") pci_exp_set_dev_base() set_fixmap_nocache() pci_mmcfg_read("device-B") pci_exp_set_dev_base() set_fixmap_nocache() pci_mmcfg_read("device-B") pci_exp_set_dev_base() /* doesn't flush tlb */ But if cpus accessed the above order, the second pci_mmcfg_read() on cpu0 doesn't flush the TLB, because "mmcfg_last_accessed_device" is device-B. So, second pci_mmcfg_read() on cpu0 accesses a device-A via a previous TLB cache. This problem became the cause of several strange behavior. This patches fixes this situation by adds "mmcfg_last_accessed_cpu" check. [ Alternatively, we could make a per-cpu mapping area or something. Not that it's probably worth it, but if we wanted to avoid all locking and instead just disable preemption, that would be the way to go. --Linus ] Signed-off-by: OGAWA Hirofumi <hogawa@miraclelinux.com> Signed-off-by: OGAWA Hirofumi <hirofumi@mail.parknet.co.jp> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
