[PATCH 0/4] mm: Fix apply_to_pte_range() vs lazy MMU mode

[Alexander Gordeev <agordeev@linux.ibm.com>]

Hi All!

On s390 if make arch_enter_lazy_mmu_mode() do preempt_enable() and
arch_leave_lazy_mmu_mode() do preempt_disable() I am getting this:

    [  553.332108] preempt_count: 1, expected: 0

I guess, commit b9ef323ea168 ("powerpc/64s: Disable preemption in hash
lazy mmu mode") (albeit not completely) fixed similar issue on PPC:

    apply_to_page_range on kernel pages does not disable preemption, which         
    is a requirement for hash's lazy mmu mode, which keeps track of the            
    TLBs to flush with a per-cpu array.                                            

This series is an attempt to fix the violation of lazy MMU mode context
as described for arch_enter_lazy_mmu_mode():

    This mode can only be entered and left under the protection of  
    the page table locks for all page tables which may be modified.

If I am not mistaken, xen and sparc are also prone to the described
problem, as they use this_cpu_ptr() rather than get_cpu_var().

Take init_mm.page_table_lock for kernel tables to avoid all of that.

Thanks!
