Huh, this is the warning below:

WARN_ON_ONCE(local_tlb_gen > mm_tlb_gen);

This cannot happen on remote CPUs, because they
will check whether f->mm != loaded_mm, but with
my patches it can happen on the _local_ CPU, if:

The current CPU:
- Is in the mm_cpumask for another mm
- Tries to flush the TLB for that other mm
- Calls flush_tlb_func locally with f->mm being
that other mm.

It should be a fairly easy fix, pulling the
/* Can only happen on remote CPUs */ thing
out from the !local condition, since it can
now happen locally :)

I'll send a fix in a little bit.
