[PATCH] x86: fix broken flushing in GART nofullflush path

From: Joerg Roedel
Date: Tue Dec 02 2008 - 14:16:36 EST


In the non-default nofullflush case the GART is only flushed when
next_bit wraps around. But it can happen that an unmap operation unmaps
memory which is behind the current next_bit location. If these addresses
are reused it may result in stale GART IO/TLB entries. Fix this by
setting the GART next_bit always behind an unmapped location.
