[PATCH 5.3 024/148] powerpc/603: Fix handling of the DIRTY flag

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

 



From: Christophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@xxxxxx>

commit 415480dce2ef03bb8335deebd2f402f475443ce0 upstream.

If a page is already mapped RW without the DIRTY flag, the DIRTY
flag is never set and a TLB store miss exception is taken forever.

This is easily reproduced with the following app:

void main(void)
{
	volatile char *ptr = mmap(0, 4096, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED | MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0);

	*ptr = *ptr;
}

When DIRTY flag is not set, bail out of TLB miss handler and take
a minor page fault which will set the DIRTY flag.

Fixes: f8b58c64eaef ("powerpc/603: let's handle PAGE_DIRTY directly")
