[PATCH 02/15] percpu: perform tlb flush after pcpu_map_pages() failure

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

 



If pcpu_map_pages() fails midway, it unmaps the already mapped pages.
Currently, it doesn't flush tlb after the partial unmapping.  This may
be okay in most cases as the established mapping hasn't been used at
that point but it can go wrong and when it goes wrong it'd be
extremely difficult to track down.

Flush tlb after the partial unmapping.
