From: Andy Lutomirski luto@kernel.org
commit ca6c99c0794875c6d1db6e22f246699691ab7e6b upstream.
flush_tlb_page() was very similar to flush_tlb_mm_range() except that it had a couple of issues:
- It was missing an smp_mb() in the case where current->active_mm != mm. (This is a longstanding bug reported by Nadav Amit)
- It was missing tracepoints and vm counter updates.
The only reason that I can see for keeping it at as a separate function is that it could avoid a few branches that flush_tlb_mm_range() needs to decide to flush just one page. This hardly seems worthwhile. If we decide we want to get rid of those branches again, a better way would be to introduce an __flush_tlb_mm_range() helper and make both flush_tlb_page() and flush_tlb_mm_range() use it.
