The first patch just remove useless call and add documentation explaining why it is safe to do so. The second patch go further by introducing mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_only_end() which skip callback to invalidate_range this can be done when clearing a pte, pmd or pud with notification which call invalidate_range right after clearing under the page table lock. It should improve performances but i am lacking hardware and benchmarks which might show an improvement. Maybe folks in cc can help here.
