| |
Function set_pmd_at is to set pmd entry, if tlb entry need to be flushed, there exists pmdp_huge_clear_flush alike function before set_pmd_at is called. So it is not necessary to call flush_tlb_all in this function.
In these scenarios, tlb for the pmd range needs to be flushed: 1. privilege degrade such as wrprotect is set on the pmd entry 2. pmd entry is cleared 3. there is exception if set_pmd_at is issued by dup_mmap, since flush_tlb_mm is called for parent process, it is not necessary to flush tlb in function copy_huge_pmd.
