Subject: [PATCH v2 0/4] more mm switching vs TLB shootdown and lazy tlb fixes
Date: Mon, 14 Sep 2020 14:52:15 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200914045219.3736466-1-npiggin@gmail.com> (raw)
This is an attempt to fix a few different related issues around
switching mm, TLB flushing, and lazy tlb mm handling.
This will require all architectures to eventually move to disabling
irqs over activate_mm, but it's possible we could add another arch
call after irqs are re-enabled for those few which can't do their
entire activation with irqs disabled.
Testing so far indicates this has fixed a mm refcounting bug that
powerpc was running into (via distro report and backport). I haven't
had any real feedback on this series outside powerpc (and it doesn't
really affect other archs), so I propose patches 1,2,4 go via the
powerpc tree.
There is no dependency between them and patch 3, I put it there only
because it follows the history of the code (powerpc code was written
using the sparc64 logic), but I guess they have to go via different arch
trees. Dave, I'll leave patch 3 with you.
Thanks,
Nick
