[PATCH 3/3] x86: mm: Account for the of CPUs that must be flushed during a TLB range flush

From: Mel Gorman
Date: Thu Dec 12 2013 - 06:55:48 EST


X86 TLB range flushing uses a balance point to decide if a single global TLB
flush or multiple single page flushes would perform best. This patch takes into
account how many CPUs must be flushed.
