[PATCH RESEND v3 1/5] x86/mm: Account for remote kernel TLB flush requests
From: Chuyi Zhou
Date: Tue Nov 10 2026 - 03:33:07 EST
NR_TLB_REMOTE_FLUSH counts requests to invalidate TLB entries on other
CPUs. flush_tlb_all() and native_flush_tlb_multi() account for these
requests, but flush_tlb_kernel_range() bypasses both functions and does
not update the counter. Kernel range flushes are therefore missing from
the sender-side statistics, including ranges promoted to a full flush.
Count each request in kernel_tlb_flush_all() and
kernel_tlb_flush_range(). Account for both IPI and INVLPGB backends, as
flush_tlb_all() already does, and count once per request regardless of
the number of target CPUs or invalidation instructions.
