Re: [PATCH v3 09/33] nds32: Cache and TLB routines

[Guo Ren <ren_guo@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

CPU team could improve the tlbop_*. Eg: Design a hardware
internal flag bit for SR_TLB_VPN, tlbop_* will invalid it and mtsr
SR_TLB_VPN will valid it.

So:

Because SR_TLB_VPN is in a invalid state, no operation happen on
tlbop_rwr.

Then they are atomic safe ,no spin_lock_irq need.
