When flushing TLB, if @vma is backed by huge page, huge TLB should be flushed,
due to the fact that huge page is defined to be far from normal page, and the
flushing is shorten a bit.

Any comment is welcome.


Note that the current implementation works, but is not optimal.

Thanks

Perhaps:
	if (huge) {
		start = round_down(start, HPAGE_SIZE);
		end = round_up(start, HPAGE_SIZE);
		size = (end - start) >> HPAGE_SHIFT;
	} else {

		size = (end - start) >> (PAGE_SHIFT + 1);
	}

  		if (size<= current_cpu_data.tlbsize/2) {

Has anybody benchmarked this heuristic?  I guess it seems reasonable.

  			int oldpid = read_c0_entryhi();
  			int newpid = cpu_asid(cpu, mm);

-			start&= (PAGE_MASK<<  1);
-			end += ((PAGE_SIZE<<  1) - 1);
-			end&= (PAGE_MASK<<  1);

+				start&= HPAGE_MASK;
+				end&= HPAGE_MASK;
+			} else {
+				start&= (PAGE_MASK<<  1);
+				end += ((PAGE_SIZE<<  1) - 1);
+				end&= (PAGE_MASK<<  1);
+			}

This stuff is done above so is removed.


  			while (start<  end) {
  				int idx;

  				write_c0_entryhi(start | newpid);
-				start += (PAGE_SIZE<<  1);
+				if (huge)
+					start += HPAGE_SIZE;
+				else
+					start += (PAGE_SIZE<<  1);
  				mtc0_tlbw_hazard();
  				tlb_probe();
  				tlb_probe_hazard();



If we do something like that, then...
