[PATCH] powerpc/mm/nohash: do not flush the entire mm when range is a single page

From: Christophe Leroy
Date: Tue Jan 23 2018 - 08:23:01 EST


Most of the time, flush_tlb_range() is called on single pages.
At the time being, flush_tlb_range() inconditionnaly calls
flush_tlb_mm() which flushes at least the entire PID pages and on
older CPUs like 4xx or 8xx it flushes the entire TLB table.

This patch calls flush_tlb_page() instead of flush_tlb_mm() when
the range is a single page.
