[PATCH] remap_file_pages needs to check for cache coherency

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

 



It seems to me that while (for example) on SPARC, it's not possible to
create a non-coherent mapping with mmap(), after we've done an mmap,
we can then use remap_file_pages() to create a mapping that no longer
aliases in the D-cache.

I have only compile-tested this patch.  I don't have any SPARC hardware,
and my PA-RISC hardware hasn't been turned on in six years ... I noticed
this while wandering around looking at some other stuff.
