Subject: [PATCH v2] MIPS: Do not flush tlb when setting pmd entry
Date: Thu, 18 Jun 2020 18:56:55 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1592477815-836-1-git-send-email-maobibo@loongson.cn> (raw)

Function set_pmd_at is to set pmd entry, if tlb entry need to
be flushed, there exists pmdp_huge_clear_flush alike function
before set_pmd_at is called. So it is not necessary to call
flush_tlb_all in this function.

In these scenarios, tlb for the pmd range needs to be flushed:
1. privilege degrade such as wrprotect is set on the pmd entry
2. pmd entry is cleared
3. there is exception if set_pmd_at is issued by dup_mmap, since
flush_tlb_mm is called for parent process, it is not necessary
to flush tlb in function copy_huge_pmd.
