Subject: x86/mm: Remove flush_tlb() and flush_tlb_current_task()
From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 29961b59a51f8c6838a26a45e871a7ed6771809b upstream.
I was trying to figure out what how flush_tlb_current_task() would
possibly work correctly if current->mm != current->active_mm, but I
realized I could spare myself the effort: it has no callers except
the unused flush_tlb() macro.
