Re: [PATCH][RFC] parisc: Use local tlb purges only on UP machines

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I believe this change is wrong and will reduce performance.  The TLB setup for a TMPALIAS
flush is local to any given CPU.  So, we should only need a local TLB purge.

A local TLB purge doesn't require locking to serialize PxTLB broadcasts.  It is also  faster than
a global TLB purges

Indeed, the case that might be wrong is the one that uses pdtlb. It potentially needs serialization
on SMP machines.  See comment in pgtable.h.

Limit usage of CPU-local tlb flushes in pacache.S to non-SMP machines.
On 32-bit kernels this was the case already, with this patch this
behaviour is used on 64-bit kernels now too.
