[RFC 12/20] mm/tlb: save the VMA that is flushed during tlb_start_vma()

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

 



From: Nadav Amit <namit@xxxxxxxxxx>

Certain architectures need information about the vma that is about to be
flushed. Currently, an artificial vma is constructed using the original
vma infromation. Instead of saving the flags, record the vma during
tlb_start_vma() and use this vma when calling flush_tlb_range().

Record the vma unconditionally as it would be needed for per-VMA
deferred TLB flush tracking and the overhead of tracking it
unconditionally should be negligible.
