3.16.51-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 60f07c8ec5fae06c23e9fd7bab67dabce92b3414 upstream. The order in __tlb_flush_mm_lazy is to flush TLB first and then clear the mm->context.flush_mm bit. This can lead to missed flushes as the bit can be set anytime, the order needs to be the other way aronud. But this leads to a different race, __tlb_flush_mm_lazy may be called on two CPUs concurrently. If mm->context.flush_mm is cleared first then another CPU can bypass __tlb_flush_mm_lazy although the first CPU has not done the flush yet. In a virtualized environment the time until the flush is finally completed can be arbitrarily long. Add a spinlock to serialize __tlb_flush_mm_lazy and use the function in finish_arch_post_lock_switch as well.
