From a6f572084fbee8b30f91465f4a085d7a90901c57 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Wed, 22 Aug 2018 17:30:14 +0200 Subject: mm/tlb: Remove tlb_remove_table() non-concurrent condition Will noted that only checking mm_users is incorrect; we should also check mm_count in order to cover CPUs that have a lazy reference to this mm (and could do speculative TLB operations). If removing this turns out to be a performance issue, we can re-instate a more complete check, but in tlb_table_flush() eliding the call_rcu_sched().
