Subject: MIPS: Hibernate: Flush TLB entries in swsusp_arch_resume()
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.
