3.8.13.22 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Huacai Chen <chenhc@xxxxxxxxxx> commit c14af233fbe279d0e561ecf84f1208b1bae087ef upstream. The original MIPS hibernate code flushes cache and TLB entries in swsusp_arch_resume(). But they are removed in Commit 44eeab67416711 (MIPS: Hibernation: Remove SMP TLB and cacheflushing code.). A cross- CPU flush is surely unnecessary because all but the local CPU have already been disabled. But a local flush (at least the TLB flush) is needed. When we do hibernation on Loongson-3 with an E1000E NIC, it is very easy to produce a kernel panic (kernel page fault, or unaligned access). The root cause is E1000E driver use vzalloc_node() to allocate pages, the stale TLB entries of the booting kernel will be misused by the resumed target kernel.
