Here is an patch to fix virtual aliasing problem with SysV IPC shared memory. I tested this patch on a r4k cpu with 32Kb D-cache. If D-cache is smaller than PAGE_SIZE this patch is not needed at all...
More precisely, if the size of a D-cache "set" is smaller than PAGE_SIZE. So a CPU with a 16Kbyte 4-way set-associative cache and 4Kbyte PAGE_SIZE is safe. Dominic Sweetman Algorithmics Ltd
