[PATCH v2 6/9] powerpc/64s/hash: SLB fix preemption issues

Nicholas Piggin npiggin at gmail.com
Wed Oct 3 00:27:56 AEST 2018


slb_setup_new_exec and preload_new_slb_context run with interrupts
and preemption enabled, which can be corrupted by re-entrant interrupt
or process touching SLB preload cache or SLB allocator.

Hard disable interrupts over these regions.

Fixes: 5e46e29e6a97 ("powerpc/64s/hash: convert SLB miss handlers to C")
Fixes: 89ca4e126a3f ("powerpc/64s/hash: Add a SLB preload cache")
