[PATCH v3 2/2] hugetlb: take PMD sharing into account when flushing tlb/caches

From: Mike Kravetz
Date: Tue Aug 21 2018 - 16:59:25 EST


When fixing an issue with PMD sharing and migration, it was discovered
via code inspection that other callers of huge_pmd_unshare potentially
have an issue with cache and tlb flushing.

Use the routine huge_pmd_sharing_possible() to calculate worst case
ranges for mmu notifiers. Ensure that this range is flushed if
huge_pmd_unshare succeeds and unmaps a PUD_SUZE area.
