Subject: hugetlbfs: add missing TLB flush to hugetlb_cow()
From: Gerald Schaefer <gerald.schaefer@xxxxxxxxxx>
A cow break on a hugetlbfs page with page_count > 1 will set a new pte with
set_huge_pte_at(), w/o any tlb flush operation. The old pte will remain in
the tlb and subsequent write access to the page will result in a page fault
loop, for as long as it may take until the tlb is flushed from somewhere else.
This patch introduces an architecture-specific huge_ptep_clear_flush()
function, which is called before the the set_huge_pte_at() in hugetlb_cow().
ATTENTION: This is just a nop on all architectures for now, the s390
implementation will come with our large page patch later. Other architectures
should define their own huge_ptep_clear_flush() if needed.
