I double checked my conclusion on patch 4, and aside from a couple of typos, it still seems correct after the weekend. > Only for the soft-dirty case, but I think TLB invalidation is required > there because we are write-protecting the entries and I don't see any > mechanism to handle lazy invalidation for that (compared with the aging > case, which is handled via pte_accessible()). The lazy invalidation for that is done when we write-protect a page, not an individual PTE. When we do so, our decision is based on both the dirty bit and the writable bit on each PTE mapping this page. So we only need to make sure we don't lose both on a PTE. And we don't here. > Furthermore, If we decide that we can relax the TLB invalidation > requirements here, then I'd much rather than was done deliberately, rather > than as an accidental side-effect of another commit (since I think the > current behaviour was a consequence of 7a30df49f63a). Nope. tlb_gather/finish_mmu() should be added by b3a81d0841a9 ("mm: fix KSM data corruption") in the first place. > > It seems to me ARM's interpretation of tlb->fullmm is a special case, > > not the other way around. > > Although I agree that this is subtle and error-prone (which is why I'm > trying to make the API more explicit here), it _is_ documented clearly > in asm-generic/tlb.h: > > * - mmu_gather::fullmm > * > * A flag set by tlb_gather_mmu() to indicate we're going to free > * the entire mm; this allows a number of optimizations. > * > * - We can ignore tlb_{start,end}_vma(); because we don't > * care about ranges.

I'd leave the original tlb_gather/finish_mmu() for the first case and add a new API for the second case, the special case that only applies to exit_mmap()). This way we won't change any existing behaviors on other architectures, which seems important to me. Additional cleanups to tlb_gather/finish_mmu() come thereafter.
