These functions sleep, and therefore the mutex's cause +scheduling while atomic errors. Now this actually opens up the +possiblity of some corruption (not actually seen in practice, but +theoretically possible) and therefore is not the correct fix, but all +proposed replacements have so far been even more problematic. + +diff --git a/arch/sh/mm/pg-sh4.c b/arch/sh/mm/pg-sh4.c +index df69da9..7bc36a4 100644 +--- a/arch/sh/mm/pg-sh4.c ++++ b/arch/sh/mm/pg-sh4.c +@@ -37,7 +37,7 @@ void clear_user_page(void *to, unsigned + unsigned long flags; + + entry = pfn_pte(phys_addr >> PAGE_SHIFT, PAGE_KERNEL); +- mutex_lock(&p3map_mutex[(address & CACHE_ALIAS)>>12]); ++// mutex_lock(&p3map_mutex[(address & CACHE_ALIAS)>>12]); + set_pte(pte, entry); + local_irq_save(flags); + flush_tlb_one(get_asid(), p3_addr); +@@ -45,7 +45,7 @@ void clear_user_page(void *to, unsigned + update_mmu_cache(NULL, p3_addr, entry); + __clear_user_page((void *)p3_addr, to); + pte_clear(&init_mm, p3_addr, pte); +- mutex_unlock(&p3map_mutex[(address & CACHE_ALIAS)>>12]); ++// mutex_unlock(&p3map_mutex[(address & CACHE_ALIAS)>>12]); + } + } + +@@ -73,7 +73,7 @@ void copy_user_page(void *to, void *from + unsigned long flags; + + entry = pfn_pte(phys_addr >> PAGE_SHIFT, PAGE_KERNEL); +- mutex_lock(&p3map_mutex[(address & CACHE_ALIAS)>>12]); ++// mutex_lock(&p3map_mutex[(address & CACHE_ALIAS)>>12]); + set_pte(pte, entry); + local_irq_save(flags); + flush_tlb_one(get_asid(), p3_addr); +@@ -81,7 +81,7 @@ void copy_user_page(void *to, void *from + update_mmu_cache(NULL, p3_addr, entry); + __copy_user_page((void *)p3_addr, from, to); + pte_clear(&init_mm, p3_addr, pte); +- mutex_unlock(&p3map_mutex[(address & CACHE_ALIAS)>>12]); ++// mutex_unlock(&p3map_mutex[(address & CACHE_ALIAS)>>12]); + } + } + |
