Or am I missing something? I guess it might be clearer if you understand what the block initializing stores do on sparc64. There are no memory accesses at all. The cpu just zeros out the cache line, that's it. No L3 cache line is allocated. So this "wipe everything" behavior will not happen in the L3. -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx.
