Linux Operating System Source Code: IBM Patches

 
TLB flush order fix
Description:
The patch fixes a race in establish_pte where we were flushing the TLB before setting the pte. This could lead to another processor reloading it's TLB with a wrong reference before the pte is set. The patch reverses the order so that the pte is changed before we flush all the TLBs.
