[patch 03/32] x86-64: Always flush all pages in change_page_attr

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

 



-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
---------------------

From: Andi Kleen <[email protected]>

change_page_attr on x86-64 only flushed the TLB for pages that got
reverted. That's not correct: it has to be flushed in all cases.

This bug was added in some earlier changes.

Just flush all pages for now.

This could be done more efficiently, but for this late in the release
this seem to be the best fix.
