X-Git-Tag: v4.1-rc1~98^2^2~25 X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=4d46a67a3eb8;p=karo-tx-linux.git MIPS: Fix race condition in lazy cache flushing. The lazy cache flushing implemented in the MIPS kernel suffers from a race condition that is exposed by do_set_pte() in mm/memory.c. A pre-condition is a file-system that writes to the page from the CPU in its readpage method and then calls flush_dcache_page(). One example is ubifs. Another pre-condition is that the dcache flush is postponed in __flush_dcache_page(). Upon a page fault for an executable mapping not existing in the page-cache, the following will happen: 1. Write to the page 2. flush_dcache_page 3. flush_icache_page 4. set_pte_at 5. update_mmu_cache (commits the flush of a dcache-dirty page) Between steps 4 and 5 another thread can hit the same page and it will encounter a valid pte. Because the data still is in the L1 dcache the CPU will fetch stale data from L2 into the icache and execute garbage. This fix moves the commit of the cache flush to step 3 to close the race window. It also reduces the amount of flushes on non-executable mappings because we never enter __flush_dcache_page() for non-aliasing CPUs. Regressions can occur in drivers that mistakenly relies on the flush_dcache_page() in get_user_pages() for DMA operations.
