parisc: Fix race in pci-dma.c
commit c0452fb9fb8f49c7d68ab9fa0ad092016be7b45f upstream.
We are still troubled by occasional random segmentation faults and
memory memory corruption on SMP machines. The causes quite a few
package builds to fail on the Debian buildd machines for parisc. When
gcc-6 failed to build three times in a row, I looked again at the TLB
related code. I found a couple of issues. This is the first.
In general, we need to ensure page table updates and corresponding TLB
purges are atomic. The attached patch fixes an instance in pci-dma.c
where the page table update was not guarded by the TLB lock.
Tested on rp3440 and c8000. So far, no further random segmentation
faults have been observed.
