ptep_flush_lazy and pmdp_flush_lazy use mm->context.attach_count to decide between a lazy TLB flush vs an immediate TLB flush. The field contains two 16-bit counters, the number of CPUs that have the mm attached and can create TLB entries for it and the number of CPUs in the middle of a page table update. The __tlb_flush_asce, ptep_flush_direct and pmdp_flush_direct functions use the attach counter and a mask check with mm_cpumask(mm) to decide between a local flush local of the current CPU and a global flush. For all these functions the decision between lazy vs immediate and local vs global TLB flush can be based on CPU masks. There are two masks: the mm->context.cpu_attach_mask with the CPUs that are actively using the mm, and the mm_cpumask(mm) with the CPUs that have used the mm since the last full flush. The decision between lazy vs immediate flush is based on the mm->context.cpu_attach_mask, to decide between local vs global flush the mm_cpumask(mm) is used. With this patch all checks will use the CPU masks, the old counter mm->context.attach_count with its two 16-bit values is turned into a single counter mm->context.flush_count that keeps track of the number of CPUs with incomplete page table updates. The sole user of this counter is finish_arch_post_lock_switch() which waits for the end of all page table updates. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
