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.

Then they are atomic safe ,no spin_lock_irq need. :) Guo Ren -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-serial" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
