    mm/tlb, x86/mm: Support invalidating TLB caches for RCU_TABLE_FREE · d86564a2
    Peter Zijlstra authored
    Jann reported that x86 was missing required TLB invalidates when he
    hit the !*batch slow path in tlb_remove_table().
    
    This is indeed the case; RCU_TABLE_FREE does not provide TLB (cache)
    invalidates, the PowerPC-hash where this code originated and the
    Sparc-hash where this was subsequently used did not need that. ARM
    which later used this put an explicit TLB invalidate in their
    __p*_free_tlb() functions, and PowerPC-radix followed that example.
    
    But when we hooked up x86 we failed to consider this. Fix this by
    (optionally) hooking tlb_remove_table() into the TLB invalidate code.
    
    NOTE: s390 was also needing something like this and might now
          be able to use the generic code again.
    
    [ Modified to be on top of Nick's cleanups, which simplified this patch
      now that tlb_flush_mmu_tlbonly() really only flushes the TLB - Linus ]
    
    Fixes: 9e52fc2b ("x86/mm: Enable RCU based page table freeing (CONFIG_HAVE_RCU_TABLE_FREE=y)")
