From 3a6a04706fd08eb5677fdfc086e26fcd5eb154f4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Benjamin Herrenschmidt Date: Fri, 7 Jul 2017 16:12:16 -0500 Subject: powerpc/mm/radix: Synchronize updates to the process table When writing to the process table, we need to ensure the store is visible to a subsequent access by the MMU. We assume we never have the PID active while doing the update, so a ptesync/isync pair should hopefully be a big enough hammer for our purpose.
