The patch titled i386: don't check_pgt_cache in flush_tlb_mm has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is i386-dont-check_pgt_cache-in-flush_tlb_mm.patch *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: i386: don't check_pgt_cache in flush_tlb_mm From: Hugh Dickins <hugh@xxxxxxxxxxx> No other architecture calls check_pgt_cache() from within flush_tlb_mm(), and i386 is already calling check_pgt_cache() from the usual places, tlb_finish_mmu() and cpu_idle() (the latter being odd, but not unusual). flush_tlb_mm() has no business to be freeing pages: remove that line, which sneaked in with slub's i386 support.
