[patch -mm] smaps: flush tlb only once for each vma

From: David Rientjes
Date: Tue Feb 13 2007 - 23:30:34 EST


Flush the entire user address space from the TLB for each VMA in the
task_struct list when clearing reference bits with /proc/pid/clear_refs.
It's more efficient than flushing each page individually depending on
pte_young().
