[patch 112/173] MIPS: do not call flush_tlb_all when setting pmd entry

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

Subject: MIPS: do not call flush_tlb_all when setting pmd entry

Function set_pmd_at is to set pmd entry, if tlb entry need to be flushed,
there exists pmdp_huge_clear_flush alike function before set_pmd_at is
called.  So it is not necessary to call flush_tlb_all in this function.

In these scenarios, tlb for the pmd range needs to be flushed:
1. privilege degrade such as wrprotect is set on the pmd entry
2. pmd entry is cleared
3. there is exception if set_pmd_at is issued by dup_mmap, since
flush_tlb_mm is called for parent process, it is not necessary
to flush tlb in function copy_huge_pmd.
