[PATCH v1 2/3] x86/mm: implement redundant IPI elimination for page table operations
Posted by Lance Yang 1 month, 1 week ago
From: Lance Yang <lance.yang@linux.dev>

Add a callback function flush_tlb_multi_implies_ipi_broadcast to pv_mmu_ops
to explicitly track whether flush_tlb_multi IPIs provide sufficient
synchronization for GUP-fast when freeing or unsharing page tables.

Pass both freed_tables and unshared_tables to flush_tlb_mm_range() to
ensure lazy-TLB CPUs receive IPIs and flush their paging-structure caches:
	flush_tlb_mm_range(..., freed_tables || unshared_tables);

Suggested-by: David Hildenbrand (Red Hat) <david@kernel.org>
