From 95b0e6357d3e4e05349668940d7ff8f3b7e7e11e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rik van Riel Date: Mon, 16 Jul 2018 15:03:36 -0400 Subject: x86/mm/tlb: Always use lazy TLB mode Now that CPUs in lazy TLB mode no longer receive TLB shootdown IPIs, except at page table freeing time, and idle CPUs will no longer get shootdown IPIs for things like mprotect and madvise, we can always use lazy TLB mode.
