At the moment we have to rather sub-optimal flushing behaviours: - flush_tlb_mm() will flush the PWC which is unnecessary (for example when doing a fork) - A large unmap will call flush_tlb_pwc() multiple times causing us to perform that fairly expensive operation repeatedly. This happens often in batches of 3 on every new process. So we change flush_tlb_mm() to only flush the TLB, and we use the existing "need_flush_all" flag in struct mmu_gather to indicate that the PWC needs flushing. Unfortunately, flush_tlb_range() still needs to do a full flush for now as it's used by the THP collapsing. We will fix that later. Signed-off-by:
