[merged mm-stable] powerpc-64s-do-not-re-activate-batched-tlb-flush.patch removed from -mm tree

[Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: powerpc/64s: do not re-activate batched TLB flush
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     powerpc-64s-do-not-re-activate-batched-tlb-flush.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Patch series "Nesting support for lazy MMU mode", v6.

When the lazy MMU mode was introduced eons ago, it wasn't made clear
whether such a sequence was legal:

	arch_enter_lazy_mmu_mode()
	...
		arch_enter_lazy_mmu_mode()
		...
		arch_leave_lazy_mmu_mode()
	...
	arch_leave_lazy_mmu_mode()

It seems fair to say that nested calls to
arch_{enter,leave}_lazy_mmu_mode() were not expected, and most
architectures never explicitly supported it.

Nesting does in fact occur in certain configurations, and avoiding it has
proved difficult.  This series therefore enables lazy_mmu sections to
nest, on all architectures.

Nesting is handled using a counter in task_struct (patch 8), like other
stateless APIs such as pagefault_{disable,enable}().  This is fully
handled in a new generic layer in <linux/pgtable.h>; the arch_* API
remains unchanged.  A new pair of calls, lazy_mmu_mode_{pause,resume}(),
is also introduced to allow functions that are called with the lazy MMU
mode enabled to temporarily pause it, regardless of nesting.

An arch now opts in to using the lazy MMU mode by selecting
CONFIG_ARCH_LAZY_MMU; this is more appropriate now that we have a generic
API, especially with state conditionally added to task_struct.


This patch (of 14):

Since commit b9ef323ea168 ("powerpc/64s: Disable preemption in hash lazy
mmu mode") a task can not be preempted while in lazy MMU mode.  Therefore,
the batch re-activation code is never called, so remove it.
