[RFC PATCH 2/2] mm: mmu_notifier fix for tlb_end_vma

From: Nicholas Piggin
Date: Thu Aug 23 2018 - 04:47:38 EST


The generic tlb_end_vma does not call invalidate_range mmu notifier,
and it resets resets the mmu_gather range, which means the notifier
won't be called on part of the range in case of an unmap that spans
multiple vmas.

ARM64 seems to be the only arch I could see that has notifiers and
uses the generic tlb_end_vma. I have not actually tested it.
