    MIPS: do not call flush_tlb_all when setting pmd entry · aba677f9
    Bibo Mao authored
    Function set_pmd_at is to set pmd entry, if tlb entry need to be flushed,
    there exists pmdp_huge_clear_flush alike function before set_pmd_at is
    called.  So it is not necessary to call flush_tlb_all in this function.
    
    In these scenarios, tlb for the pmd range needs to be flushed:
    
     - privilege degrade such as wrprotect is set on the pmd entry
    
     - pmd entry is cleared
    
     - there is exception if set_pmd_at is issued by dup_mmap, since
       flush_tlb_mm is called for parent process, it is not necessary to
       flush tlb in function copy_huge_pmd.
