The patch titled
Subject: asm-generic/tlb: avoid potential double flush
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
asm-generic-tlb-avoid-potential-double-flush.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: asm-generic/tlb: avoid potential double flush
Aneesh reported that:
tlb_flush_mmu()
tlb_flush_mmu_tlbonly()
tlb_flush() <-- #1
tlb_flush_mmu_free()
tlb_table_flush()
tlb_table_invalidate()
tlb_flush_mmu_tlbonly()
tlb_flush() <-- #2
does two TLBIs when tlb->fullmm, because __tlb_reset_range() will not
clear tlb->end in that case.
Observe that any caller to __tlb_adjust_range() also sets at least one of
the tlb->freed_tables || tlb->cleared_p* bits, and those are
unconditionally cleared by __tlb_reset_range().
Change the condition for actually issuing TLBI to having one of those bits
set, as opposed to having tlb->end != 0.
