From 47f78a49206b7f9b0d283ba46a2a5a6ee1796472 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: R Sharada Date: Wed, 22 Feb 2006 21:43:08 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] powerpc64: fix spinlock recursion in native_hpte_clear native_hpte_clear has a spinlock recursion problem with the native_tlbie_lock being called twice, once in native_hpte_clear() and once within tlbie(). Fix the problem by changing the call to tlbie() in native_hpte_clear() to __tlbie(). It still supports only 4k pages for now.
