Subject: [PATCH v1 2/3] x86/mm: implement redundant IPI elimination for page table operations
Date: Mon, 29 Dec 2025 22:12:44 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251229141246.63435-3-lance.yang@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251229141246.63435-1-lance.yang@linux.dev>
From: Lance Yang <lance.yang@linux.dev>
Add a callback function flush_tlb_multi_implies_ipi_broadcast to pv_mmu_ops
to explicitly track whether flush_tlb_multi IPIs provide sufficient
synchronization for GUP-fast when freeing or unsharing page tables.
Pass both freed_tables and unshared_tables to flush_tlb_mm_range() to
ensure lazy-TLB CPUs receive IPIs and flush their paging-structure caches:
flush_tlb_mm_range(..., freed_tables || unshared_tables);
Suggested-by: David Hildenbrand (Red Hat) <david@kernel.org>
