Hugh Dickins	663b97f7ef	[PATCH] mm: flush_tlb_range outside ptlock ... There was one small but very significant change in the previous patch: mprotect's flush_tlb_range fell outside the page_table_lock: as it is in 2.4, but that doesn't prove it safe in 2.6. On some architectures flush_tlb_range comes to the same as flush_tlb_mm, which has always been called from outside page_table_lock in dup_mmap, and is so proved safe. Others required a deeper audit: I could find no reliance on page_table_lock in any; but in ia64 and parisc found some code which looks a bit as if it might want preemption disabled. That won't do any actual harm, so pending a decision from the maintainers, disable preemption there. Remove comments on page_table_lock from flush_tlb_mm, flush_tlb_range and flush_tlb_page entries in cachetlb.txt: they were rather misleading (what generic code does is different from what usually happens), the rules are now changing, and it's not yet clear where we'll end up (will the generic tlb_flush_mmu happen always under lock? never under lock? or sometimes under and sometimes not?).

Linus Torvalds	1da177e4c3	Linux-2.6.12-rc2 ... Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!	2005-04-16 15:20:36 -07:00
