[PATCH 0/4] more mm switching vs TLB shootdown and lazy tlb

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This is an attempt to fix a few different related issues around
switching mm, TLB flushing, and lazy tlb mm handling.

This will require all architectures to eventually move to disabling
irqs over activate_mm, but it's possible we could add another arch
call after irqs are re-enabled for those few which can't do their
entire activation with irqs disabled.

I'd like some feedback on the sparc/powerpc vs kthread_use_mm
problem too.

Thanks,
Nick
