This series enables batched TLB flush in unmap_hotplug_range() which avoids
individual page TLB flush for potential CONT blocks in linear mapping while
also improving performance due to range based TLB operation along with less
synchronization barrier instructions.
It also now rejects memory removal that might split a leaf entry in kernel
mapping, which would have otherwise required re-structuring using the break
before make (BBM) semantics. But kernel cannot tolerate BBM, so remapping to
fine grained leaves would not be possible on systems without BBML2_NOABORT.
This series applies on 7.0-rc2 and tested on KVM guest.
Changes in V4:
Accommodated all comments from David H
- Dropped 'size' in can_unmap_without_split()
- Added BUILD_BUG_ON() for SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP in can_unmap_without_split()
- Added unified comment in addr_splits_kernel_leaf()
- Replaced ALIGNED_DOWN() with IS_ALIGNED()
- Dropped all PXX_SIZE comments in addr_splits_kernel_leaf()
- Dropped the comment in unmap_hotplug_range()
- Dropped the comments about TLB flush being essential for freeing memory
- Replaced the comments regarding CONT blocks
- Replaced the comments as unmap_hotplug_range() flushes TLB for !free_mapped
- Dropped "Fixes:" and "Closes:" tag from [PATCH 2/2], added "Link:" instead
