[PATCH] mm/mmu_gather: send tlb_remove_table_smp_sync IPI only to MM CPUs

From: Yair Podemsky
Date: Sun Mar 12 2023 - 04:10:57 EST


Currently the tlb_remove_table_smp_sync IPI is sent to all CPUs
indiscriminately, this causes unnecessary work and delays notable in
real-time use-cases and isolated cpus, this patch will limit this IPI to
only be sent to cpus referencing the effected mm and are currently in
kernel space.
