[PATCH 4/4] x86/mm/cpa: Better use clflushopt
From: Peter Zijlstra
Date: Fri Nov 30 2018 - 09:06:28 EST
Currently we issue an MFENCE before and after flushing a range. This
means that if we flush a bunch of single page ranges -- like with the
cpa array, we issue a whole bunch of superfluous MFENCEs.
Reorgainze the code a little to avoid this.
