[RFC][PATCH 09/10] x86/mm/cpa: Better use clflushopt
From: Peter Zijlstra
Date: Mon Dec 03 2018 - 12:15:08 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.
