Subject: [RFC PATCH 1/3] Revert "mm: always flush VMA ranges affected by zap_page_range"
Date: Tue, 12 Jun 2018 17:16:19 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180612071621.26775-2-npiggin@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20180612071621.26775-1-npiggin@gmail.com>

This reverts commit 4647706ebeee6e50f7b9f922b095f4ec94d581c3.

Patch 99baac21e4585 ("mm: fix MADV_[FREE|DONTNEED] TLB flush miss
problem") provides a superset of the TLB flush coverage of this
commit, and even includes in the changelog "this patch supersedes
'mm: Always flush VMA ranges affected by zap_page_range v2'".

Reverting this avoids double flushing the TLB range, and the less
efficient flush_tlb_range() call (the mmu_gather API is more precise
about what ranges it invalidates).
