Please forgive me my MIPS TLB ignorance. It seems there is a TLB entry pointing to the userspace buffer at the time the kernel pointer (kseg0) is used. Is is an allowed situation on MIPS 24K? buffer: len 0x1000 (first page), userspace pointer 0x77327000, kernel pointer 0x867ac000 (physical address = 0x067ac000) TLB Index: 15 pgmask=4kb va=77326000 asid=be [pa=01149000 c=3 d=1 v=1 g=0] [pa=067ac000 c=3 d=1 v=1 g=0] Should the TLB entry be deleted before using the kernel pointer (which points at the same page)? -- Krzysztof Halasa Research Institute for Automation and Measurements PIAP Al.
