If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Anshuman Khandual [ Upstream commit 48478b9f791376b4b89018d7afdfd06865498f65 ] During a memory hot remove operation, both linear and vmemmap mappings for the memory range being removed, get unmapped via unmap_hotplug_range() but mapped pages get freed only for vmemmap mapping. This is just a sequential operation where each table entry gets cleared, followed by a leaf specific TLB flush, and then followed by memory free operation when applicable. This approach was simple and uniform both for vmemmap and linear mappings. But linear mapping might contain CONT marked block memory where it becomes necessary to first clear out all entire in the range before a TLB flush. This is as per the architecture requirement. Hence batch all TLB flushes during the table tear down walk and finally do it in unmap_hotplug_range(). Prior to this fix, it was hypothetically possible for a speculative access to a higher address in the contiguous block to fill the TLB with shattered entries for the entire contiguous range after a lower address had already been cleared and invalidated. Due to the table entries being shattered, the subsequent TLB invalidation for the higher address would not then clear the TLB entries for the lower address, meaning stale TLB entries could persist. Besides it also helps in improving the performance via TLBI range operation along with reduced synchronization instructions. The time spent executing unmap_hotplug_range() improved 97% measured over a 2GB memory hot removal in KVM guest. This scheme is not applicable during vmemmap mapping tear down where memory needs to be freed and hence a TLB flush is required after clearing out page table entry.
