powerpc/603: Fix handling of the DIRTY flag
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
If a page is already mapped RW without the DIRTY flag, the DIRTY
flag is never set and a TLB store miss exception is taken forever.

This is easily reproduced with the following app:

void main(void)
{
	volatile char *ptr = mmap(0, 4096, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED | MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0);

	*ptr = *ptr;
}

When DIRTY flag is not set, bail out of TLB miss handler and take
a minor page fault which will set the DIRTY flag.

Fixes: f8b58c6 ("powerpc/603: let's handle PAGE_DIRTY directly")
