This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled MIPS: Loongson-3: Fix SMP_ASK_C0COUNT IPI handler to the 4.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: mips-loongson-3-fix-smp_ask_c0count-ipi-handler.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 5754843225f78ac7cbe142a6899890a9733a5a5d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Huacai Chen <chenhc@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 21 Jan 2016 21:09:49 +0800 Subject: MIPS: Loongson-3: Fix SMP_ASK_C0COUNT IPI handler From: Huacai Chen <chenhc@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 5754843225f78ac7cbe142a6899890a9733a5a5d upstream. When Core-0 handle SMP_ASK_C0COUNT IPI, we should make other cores to see the result as soon as possible (especially when Store-Fill-Buffer is enabled). Otherwise, C0_Count syncronization makes no sense. BTW, array is more suitable than per-cpu variable for syncronization, and there is a corner case should be avoid: C0_Count of Core-0 can be really 0.
