    MIPS: mm: Avoid HTW stop/start when dropping an inactive mm · 67741ba3
    Paul Burton authored
    If drop_mmu_context() is called with an mm that is not currently active
    on the local CPU then there's no need for us to stop & start a hardware
    page table walker because it can't be fetching entries for the ASID
    corresponding to the mm we're operating on.
    
    Move the htw_stop() & htw_start() calls into the block which we run only
    if the mm is currently active, in order to avoid the redundant work.
