Some care is needed here with preemption (we had this on arm and I think we need a fix on arm64 as well). Basically you set TIF_TLB_WAIT on a thread but you get preempted just before finish_switch_mm(). The new thread has the same mm as the preempted on and switch_mm() exits early without setting another flag. So finish_switch_mm() wouldn't do anything but you still switched to the new mm. The fix is to make the flag per mm rather than thread (see commit bdae73cd374e). -- Catalin -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
