Thank you!
Hi Linus, Please pull one fix for the parisc architecture for 6.10-rc4. On parisc we have suffered since years from random segfaults which seem to have been triggered due to cache inconsistencies. Those segfaults happened more often on machines with PA8800 and PA8900 CPUs, which have much bigger caches than the earlier machines. Dave Anglin has worked over the last few weeks to fix this bug. His patch has been successfully tested by various people on various machines and with various kernels (6.6, 6.8 and 6.9), and the debian buildd servers haven't shown a single random segfault with this patch. Since the cache handling has been reworked, the patch is slightly bigger than I would like in this stage, but the greatly improved stability IMHO justifies the inclusion now. Please pull. Thanks!

We have faced those segfaults since many years, but with this patch no single segfault could be triggered any longer. The patch was tested by 3 people on 5 different machines with various stable kernels (6.6, 6.8 and 6.9). ---------------------------------------------------------------- John David Anglin (1): parisc: Try to fix random segmentation faults in package builds arch/parisc/include/asm/cacheflush.h | 15 +- arch/parisc/include/asm/pgtable.h | 27 +-- arch/parisc/kernel/cache.c | 413 ++++++++++++++++++++++------------- 3 files changed, 275 insertions(+), 180 deletions(-)
