This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled x86/mm: Change the leave_mm() condition for local TLB flushes to the 4.9-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: x86-mm-change-the-leave_mm-condition-for-local-tlb-flushes.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.9 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 59f537c1dea04287165bb11407921e095250dc80 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sun, 28 May 2017 10:00:11 -0700 Subject: x86/mm: Change the leave_mm() condition for local TLB flushes From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 59f537c1dea04287165bb11407921e095250dc80 upstream. On a remote TLB flush, we leave_mm() if we're TLBSTATE_LAZY. For a local flush_tlb_mm_range(), we leave_mm() if !current->mm. These are approximately the same condition -- the scheduler sets lazy TLB mode when switching to a thread with no mm. I'm about to merge the local and remote flush code, but for ease of verifying and bisecting the patch, I want the local and remote flush behavior to match first. This patch changes the local code to match the remote code.
