From d6f0f39b7d05e62b347c4352d070e4afb3ade4b5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Suresh Siddha Date: Tue, 4 Nov 2008 13:53:04 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] x86: add smp_mb() before sending INVALIDATE_TLB_VECTOR Impact: fix rare x2apic hang On x86, x2apic mode accesses for sending IPI's don't have serializing semantics. If the IPI receivner refers(in lock-free fashion) to some memory setup by the sender, the need for smp_mb() before sending the IPI becomes critical in x2apic mode. Add the smp_mb() in native_flush_tlb_others() before sending the IPI.
