From: David Miller X-Mailer: Mew version 6.5 on Emacs 24.1 / Mule 6.0 (HANACHIRUSATO) Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: Text/Plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Invalidation sequences are handled in various ways on various architectures. One way, which sparc64 uses, is to let the set_*_at() functions accumulate pending flushes into a per-cpu array. Then the flush_tlb_range() et al. calls process the pending TLB flushes. In this regime, the __tlb_remove_*tlb_entry() implementations are essentially NOPs. The canonical PTE zap in mm/memory.c is: ptent = ptep_get_and_clear_full(mm, addr, pte, tlb->fullmm); tlb_remove_tlb_entry(tlb, pte, addr); With a subsequent tlb_flush_mmu() if needed. Mirror this in the THP PMD zapping using: orig_pmd = pmdp_get_and_clear(tlb->mm, addr, pmd); page = pmd_page(orig_pmd); tlb_remove_pmd_tlb_entry(tlb, pmd, addr); And we properly accomodate TLB flush mechanims like the one described above.
