The patch titled
Subject: MIPS: do not call flush_tlb_all when setting pmd entry
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mips-do-not-call-flush_tlb_all-when-setting-pmd-entry.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
From: Bibo Mao <maobibo@xxxxxxxxxxx>
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.
