[PATCH] mmu_gather: move tlb flush for VM_PFNMAP/VM_MIXEDMAP vmas into free_pgtables()
Posted by Roman Gushchin 10 hours ago
Commit b67fbebd4cf9 ("mmu_gather: Force tlb-flush VM_PFNMAP vmas")
added a forced tlbflush to tlb_vma_end(), which is required to avoid a
race between munmap() and unmap_mapping_range(). However it added some
overhead to other paths where tlb_vma_end() is used, but vmas are not
removed, e.g. madvise(MADV_DONTNEED).

Fix this by moving the tlb flush out of tlb_end_vma() into
free_pgtables(), somewhat similar to the stable version of the
original commit: e.g. stable commit 895428ee124a ("mm: Force TLB flush
for PFNMAP mappings before unlink_file_vma()").

Note, that if tlb->fullmm is set, no flush is required, as the whole
mm is about to be destroyed.
