This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled MIPS: Check TLB before handle_ri_rdhwr() for Loongson-3 to the 4.10-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-check-tlb-before-handle_ri_rdhwr-for-loongson-3.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 5a34133167dce36666ea054e30a561b7f4413b7f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Huacai Chen <chenhc@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 16 Mar 2017 21:00:26 +0800 Subject: MIPS: Check TLB before handle_ri_rdhwr() for Loongson-3 From: Huacai Chen <chenhc@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 5a34133167dce36666ea054e30a561b7f4413b7f upstream. Loongson-3's micro TLB (ITLB) is not strictly a subset of JTLB. That means: when a JTLB entry is replaced by hardware, there may be an old valid entry exists in ITLB. So, a TLB miss exception may occur while handle_ri_rdhwr() is running because it try to access EPC's content. However, handle_ri_rdhwr() doesn't clear EXL, which makes a TLB Refill exception be treated as a TLB Invalid exception and tlbp may fail. In this case, if FTLB (which is usually set-associative instead of set- associative) is enabled, a tlbp failure will cause an invalid tlbwi, which will hang the whole system. This patch rename handle_ri_rdhwr_vivt to handle_ri_rdhwr_tlbp and use it for Loongson-3. It try to solve the same problem described as below, but more straightforwards. https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/12591/ I think Loongson-2 has the same problem, but it has no FTLB, so we just keep it as is.
