Well it's needed for flush_tlb_range. Also normally we could run a single invlpg on x86 to invalidate huge pmd tlbs, but I read some errata for some x86, and I didn't want to take risks plus this is common code so I can't just run a common code flush_tlb_page. In mincore_huge_pmd probably we could pass vma->vm_mm instead of vma (as there is not flush_tlb_range), I can change it if you prefer. -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
