Since the calculation only ever sets bits in this cpumask +any existing bits at that memory location will remain set and find their +way into cpu_foreign_map too. This could potentially lead to cache +operations suboptimally doing smp calls to multiple VPEs in the same +core, even though the VPEs share primary caches. + +Therefore initialise temp_foreign_map using cpumask_clear() before use. + +Fixes: cccf34e9411c ("MIPS: c-r4k: Fix cache flushing for MT cores") +Signed-off-by: James Hogan <james.hogan@imgtec.com> +Cc: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org> +Cc: Paul Burton <paul.burton@imgtec.com> +Cc: linux-mips@linux-mips.org +--- + +--- a/arch/mips/kernel/smp.c ++++ b/arch/mips/kernel/smp.c +@@ -121,6 +121,7 @@ static inline void calculate_cpu_foreign + cpumask_t temp_foreign_map; + + /* Re-calculate the mask */ ++ cpumask_clear(&temp_foreign_map); + for_each_online_cpu(i) { + core_present = 0; + for_each_cpu(k, &temp_foreign_map) |
