[PATCH 04/33] mm: Only flush the TLB when clearing an accessible pte

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

 



From: Rik van Riel <riel@xxxxxxxxxx>

If ptep_clear_flush() is called to clear a page table entry that is
accessible anyway by the CPU, eg. a _PAGE_PROTNONE page table entry,
there is no need to flush the TLB on remote CPUs.
