[PATCH] s390x/mm: avoid taking the table lock in gmap_pmd_op_walk()

From: David Hildenbrand
Date: Mon Aug 06 2018 - 11:54:12 EST


Right now we temporarily take the page table lock in gmap_pmd_op_walk()
even though we know we won't need it (if we can never have 1mb pages
mapped into the gmap).

So let's special case this, so
gmap_protect_range()/gmap_sync_dirty_log_pmd() will not take the lock in
case huge pages are not allowed.

gmap_protect_range() is called quite frequently for managing shadow
page tables in vSIE environments.
