    mmu_notifiers: rename invalidate_range notifier · 1af5a810
    Alistair Popple authored
    There are two main use cases for mmu notifiers.  One is by KVM which uses
    mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start()/end() to manage a software TLB.
    
    The other is to manage hardware TLBs which need to use the
    invalidate_range() callback because HW can establish new TLB entries at
    any time.  Hence using start/end() can lead to memory corruption as these
    callbacks happen too soon/late during page unmap.
    
    mmu notifier users should therefore either use the start()/end() callbacks
    or the invalidate_range() callbacks.  To make this usage clearer rename
    the invalidate_range() callback to arch_invalidate_secondary_tlbs() and
    update documention.
