In commit 2c8c53e28f1 (MIPS: Optimize TLB handlers for Octeon CPUs)
build_r4000_tlb_refill_handler() is modified. But it doesn't compatible
with the original code in HUGETLB case. Because there is a copy & paste
error and one line of code is missing. It is very easy to produce a bug
with LTP's hugemmap05 test.

build_huge_tlb_write_entry only uses K0 as a temp and clobbers without using
the value, so the K0 must be being used by the code generated by
build_huge_update_entires, but the patch you mentioned changed the second
argument from K0 to htlb_info.huge_pte.

So should the K0 in the new UASM_i_LW call be changed to htlb_info.huge_pte
too?


I don't know. You have to dump out the generated handler (by #define DEBUG at the top of the file), then assemble/disassemble it. Looking at the disassembly, we could make sensible statements about what is happening.
