[PATCH 4/9] sparc32: flush the cache when a kmap_local mapping is installed
From: Magnus Lindholm
Date: Sun Nov 08 2026 - 17:37:09 EST
sparc32 defines arch_kmap_local_pre_map() as flush_cache_all(), but
generic highmem has never called that hook. The post-conversion flush
correction moved cache maintenance into this uncalled hook, so a new kmap
can be installed while another mapping of the same page still holds dirty
lines at a different colour.
A writer dirties a MAP_SHARED page through its user mapping on one cpu
while a reader pread()s the same offset on another: on an SS-20 with two
RT626 modules all 100 iterations came back stale, 96288 words wrong. With
the flush restored, 0 of 100.
Flush from arch_kmap_local_post_map(), which generic code does call, on
both the map and the scheduler restore paths. Running after the pte is
installed is safe: the address is not handed to the caller until the hook
returns. Route it and the tlb flush through sparc32_kmap_local_post_map()
and sparc32_kmap_local_tlb_flush() so later patches have somewhere for a
cpu-specific policy.
MBus supplies only optional VA[19:12] "super-set" bits to a virtually
indexed cache, so differing colours remain a synonym problem the bus does
not resolve.
Reference: MBus Interface Specification, SPARC International, 1997, "Basic
Assumptions for Level 2", signal VA[19:12] (MAD[53:46]).
Retain global TLB invalidation. Although the slots are CPU-local, remote
translating cache backends can populate entries for them. Local TLB
maintenance requires those remote translating users to be removed first
and belongs in the later HyperSPARC optimization.
