[PATCH] mm: Flush the TLB for a single address in a huge page

[Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@xxxxxxx>]

When the page table entry is a huge page (and not a table), there is no
need to flush the TLB by range. This patch changes flush_tlb_range() to
flush_tlb_page() in functions where we know the pmd entry is a huge
page.

Hi,

That's just a minor improvement but it saves iterating over each small
page in a huge page when a single TLB entry is used (we already have a
similar assumption in __tlb_adjust_range).

Thanks.
