Now that we made sure that lockless walk of linux page table is mostly limitted to current task(current->mm->pgdir) we can update the THP update sequence to only send IPI to CPUs on which this task has run. This helps in reducing the IPI overload on systems with large number of CPUs. WRT kvm even though kvm is walking page table with vpc->arch.pgdir, it is done only on secondary CPUs and in that case we have primary CPU added to task's mm cpumask. Sending an IPI to primary will force the secondary to do a vm exit and hence this mm cpumask usage is safe here. WRT CAPI, we still end up walking linux page table with capi context MM. For now the pte lookup serialization sends an IPI to all CPUs in CPI is in use. We can further improve this by adding the CAPI interrupt handling CPU to task mm cpumask. That will be done in a later patch. Signed-off-by: Aneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au> |

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
