[RFC/PATCH 1/12] remove frv usage of flush_tlb_pgtables()

From: Benjamin Herrenschmidt
Date: Tue Aug 07 2007 - 03:20:35 EST


frv is the last user in the tree of that dubious hook, and it's my
understanding that it's not even needed. It's only called by memory.c
free_pgd_range() which is always called within an mmu_gather, and
tlb_flush() on frv will do a flush_tlb_mm(), which from my reading
of the code, seems to do what flush_tlb_ptables() does, which is
to clear the cached PGE.
