[PATCH 10/11] x86,tlb: really leave mm on shootdown

From: Rik van Riel
Date: Wed Aug 01 2018 - 06:03:31 EST


When getting an mm shot down from under us in lazy TLB mode, don't
just switch the TLB over to the init_mm page tables, but really drop
our references to the lazy TLB mm.

This allows for faster (instant) freeing of a lazy TLB mm, which is
a precondition to getting rid of the refcounting of mms in lazy TLB mode.
